Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Mazda 3 (R15 BCS) between October 2011 and September 2026.
The record contains 16 passes and 4 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (7 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 10 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 Brake hose leaking on a hydraulic braking system (1.1.12 (c) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Upper Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Nearside Front Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
