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 2000 Mazda Mx-5 (W686 HCT) between January 2006 and March 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 3 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (7 issues), Bodywork (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Suspension (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Exhaust emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (7.3.D.3)”; “Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.3)”; “Nearside Outer Rear Body or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mo”.
