MAZDA MX51994 · 1.8L PETROL

The 1994 Mazda MX5 has a single MOT failure recorded in 2016, with no subsequent pass or further failures noted. The most recent MOT entry is from 2016-02-04, which showed a pass but highlighted recurring brake disc wear. A prior failure in 2016-01-29 listed multiple critical issues, including brake efficiency below requirements, modified parking brake components, and tyre tread below legal limits. Both MOTs occurred at the same recorded mileage of 277,658 miles, suggesting the vehicle has not been retested in over a decade. The primary risk pattern involves brake system components, with all four brake discs noted as worn, pitted, or scored in both tests. While these were categorized as "not seriously weakened," repeated mention indicates ongoing wear that could compromise braking performance. The 2016 failure also revealed significant safety issues: inadequate brake efficiency, insecure battery mounting, and tyres with tread depths below 1.6mm. These suggest potential neglect or unresolved maintenance concerns. The condition trend is unclear due to the lack of recent MOT data. The 2016 failure and subsequent pass at the same mileage imply possible repairs, but no evidence confirms this.
