MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Mazda Mx-5 (YH54 XFE) between October 2007 and May 2021.

The record contains 15 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 13 May 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (28 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Bodywork (6 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Tyres (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 35 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 Vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced central cha”; “Nearside Rear Suspension arm has excessive play in a pin/bush (2.4.G.2)”; “Nearside Front Track rod end ball joint has excessive play (2.2.B.1f)”.
