MOT Analysis

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

30 MOT tests are recorded for this 1991 Mazda Mx-5 (J620 EAT) between August 2006 and August 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 10 failures.

The most recent test on 12 August 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 10 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Bodywork (11 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues), Tyres (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 7 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: “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Rear Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (6.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Rear Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded inside and outside sill within 30cm of seatbelt”.
