MOT Analysis

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

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Mazda Unknown (P128 FTT) between June 2006 and July 2024.

The record contains 17 passes and 7 failures.

The most recent test on 22 July 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 7 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (19 issues), Lighting (13 issues), Brakes (10 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Steering (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 35 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 Rear Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Rear Position lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Direction indicator not working (4.4.1 (a) (ii))”.
