MOT Analysis

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

32 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Mazda Mx-5 (L428 HDV) between December 2005 and December 2025.

The record contains 20 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 10 December 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 12 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (24 issues), Suspension (19 issues), Lighting (14 issues), Brakes (10 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 49 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 Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Offside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Rear fog lamp missing (4.5.1 (a) (ii))”.
