MOT Analysis

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

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 1995 Mazda Mx-5 (N438 KGC) between December 2005 and April 2025.

The record contains 17 passes and 8 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (24 issues), Brakes (11 issues), Bodywork (8 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Steering (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 33 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 Lower Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced inner sill (7.1.1 (a) (i)”; “Offside Track rod end ball joint dust cover excessively damaged or deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingres”; “Nearside Track rod end ball joint dust cover excessively damaged or deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingre”.
