MOT Analysis

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

19 MOT tests are recorded for this 2005 Mazda Mx-5 (DG05 AMX) between January 2008 and October 2021.

The record contains 14 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 28 October 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (16 issues), Tyres (10 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Bodywork (3 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 24 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: “Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits (8.2.1.2 (a))”; “Nearside Front Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Parking brake inoperative on one side (1.4.1 (a))”.
