MOT Analysis

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

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Mazda Mx-5 (S652 JGO) between November 2005 and June 2025.

The record contains 20 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 16 June 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (38 issues), Lighting (19 issues), Windscreen (12 issues), Suspension (9 issues), Tyres (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 64 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: “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Parking brake inoperative on one side (1.4.1 (a))”; “Offside Headlamp aim projected beam image is obviously incorrect head lamp faded (4.1.2 (c))”.
