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 1995 Mazda Mx-5 (M347 DRK) between June 2006 and September 2026.

The record contains 19 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 09 September 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Exhaust & Emissions (13 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Suspension (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 24 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 Rear fog lamp does not emit a steady red light (4.5.4 (a))”; “Exhaust catalytic converter missing where one was fitted as standard (8.2.1.1 (a))”; “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”.
