MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2000 Mazda Unknown (W356 ABA) between October 2022 and February 2026.

The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

The most recent test on 25 February 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Bodywork (7 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Suspension (4 issues), Tyres (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 12 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 Steering rack gaiter missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.1.3 (g) (ii))”; “Offside Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced Inner ”; “Nearside Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced Inner”.
