MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Mazda Unknown (N568 BTF) between November 2006 and April 2023.

The record contains 17 passes and 10 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (22 issues), Brakes (22 issues), Suspension (17 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (11 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 53 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: “Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural stren”; “Nearside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural stre”; “Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
