MOT Analysis

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

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 1995 Mazda Mx-5 (M138 ECL) between February 2008 and December 2025.

The record contains 18 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 05 December 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (30 issues), Suspension (22 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (12 issues), Bodywork (12 issues), Tyres (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 60 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: “Offside Rear Outer Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly red”; “Offside Front Outer Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly re”; “Offside Front Upper Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”.
