Figures cover every MAZDA Mx5 in the national MOT record, which includes vehicles since scrapped or exported, so "on record" is not a count of cars on the road. Pass rate counts every recorded MOT test, retests included. Some MOT records describe the same model with extra trim or engine detail attached; where that detail is a recognised trim or drivetrain code, the vehicle is counted under the base model shown here rather than treated as a separate one.
