MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Mazda Mx-5 (N22 SCO) between October 2005 and April 2026.

The record contains 20 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 01 April 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (8 issues), Bodywork (3 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Tyres (1 issue), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 5 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 Front Coil spring fractured or broken (5.3.1 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage damaged and seriously weakened (2.4.G.1)”; “Brakes imbalanced across an axle (3.7.B.5b)”.
