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 2004 Mazda Rx-8 (YJ53 YFE) between March 2024 and March 2026.

The record contains 2 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 28 March 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Exhaust & Emissions (9 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Brakes (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 7 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: “Emissions unable to be completed (8.2.2.2 (e))”; “Front Brake disc in such a condition that it is seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Tyre tread pattern not visible over the whole tread area when minimum depth required is 1.0mm (5.2.3 (e))”.
