MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Mazda Mx-5 (FL51 GZZ) between November 2005 and April 2021.

The record contains 17 passes and 6 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (13 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Suspension (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 25 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Offside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded to NSR flexible hose (3.6.B.2c)”; “Exhaust emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (7.3.D.3)”.
