MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Mazda Mx-5 (S447 ATA) between March 2023 and July 2026.

The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (12 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Bodywork (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 20 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 Tyre not fitted in accordance with side wall instructions (5.2.3 (i))”; “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”; “Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits (8.2.1.2 (a))”.
