My 2005 with only 46,000 miles on it has just gone through its first mot under my ownership just last week.
The car went straight through with no problems but I was advised there is considerable surface rust underneath although
it could be years ahead before it becomes a real problem that could cause any sort of mot fail.
I was told this is common with the S2000 and nearly all of them have the same issue.
This took me by suprise for a car of this age and milage and got me a little concerned.
Fortunately for me theres a place less than a mile away from where I live (westgate classics as seen on tv in car SOS TV) who said they can remove all the surface rust and underseal for £250-£300 so I'm booked in for this week for this very job.

I've been under my s2k a few times and it looks like they should be able to get at all bits they need if they remove a few of the plastic covers.
Let us know how it went.
