1990 MAZDA 323 SE EXECUTIVE1.6L PETROL

The most recent MOT for this 1990 Mazda 323 SE Executive was a pass on 2008-09-23 at 106,002 miles. No defects were recorded, but the vehicle previously failed an MOT on 2008-09-20 at 105,979 miles. The failure included two fractured anti-roll bar linkages, a split constant velocity joint gaiter, and a windscreen washer issue. These defects suggest potential suspension and drivetrain vulnerabilities. The 2007 MOT noted a deteriorated offside front constant velocity joint gaiter, and the 2006 MOT had no defects. The pattern indicates recurring issues with suspension components and drivetrain rubber parts, particularly the gaiters. However, the 2008 pass suggests these were repaired or mitigated. The lack of further recorded defects after 2008 implies a possible improvement, but the limited data makes it hard to confirm a long-term trend. The vehicle has very low mileage for its age—about 2,944 miles per year. This could indicate light use or extended periods of inactivity, which may lead to rubber component perishing or corrosion.
