MOT Analysis

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

32 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Mazda Sport (P903 GPA) between November 2008 and April 2026.

The record contains 18 passes and 14 failures.

The most recent test on 22 April 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 14 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (23 issues), Suspension (21 issues), Lighting (18 issues), Bodywork (9 issues), Windscreen (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 82 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 Brake pipe excessively corroded (1.1.11 (c))”; “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”; “Power steering component leaking RACK (2.1.5 (a))”.
