MOT Analysis

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

15 MOT tests are recorded for this 1993 Mazda Mx-5 (L417 SNO) between August 2005 and August 2021.

The record contains 13 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (4 issues), Brakes (1 issue), Windscreen (1 issue), Exhaust & Emissions (1 issue), Steering (1 issue). 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: “Rear registration plate fitted to the rear does not have black characters on a yellow background (6.3.2b)”; “Front registration plate fitted to the front does not have black characters on a white background (6.3.2a)”; “Exhaust emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (7.3.D.3)”.
