2005 Mazda MX5 1.6L Petrol · KX05 MYG

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-23 showed a pass at 129,659 miles, with no defects recorded . This suggests the vehicle met safety and emissions standards at that time. However, the history reveals repeated MOT failures in 2024 and 2023, including a double failure on 2024-09-05 (121,784 miles) and a similar failure on 2023-08-15 (110,366 miles), both with no defects noted. These failures may indicate inconsistent compliance with MOT requirements, though the absence of recorded defects limits direct conclusions about mechanical issues. The pattern of alternating passes and failures over three years (2023–2025) suggests unstable compliance , but the lack of specific defects in the records makes it unclear whether this reflects recurring faults, procedural errors, or temporary issues. The vehicle’s mileage of 129,659 miles (roughly 6,174 miles per year) aligns with typical usage for its 21-year age, implying no extreme wear from high mileage. However, the frequency of failures could hint at underlying mechanical fragility not explicitly documented in the MOT reports. The trend does not clearly show worsening or improvement, as the vehicle has alternated between passes and failures without a consistent decline. The mileage-to-age ratio is unremarkable, so there is no strong evidence of heavy use or prolonged inactivity. However, the repeated failures may signal systemic reliability concerns that warrant closer inspection.
