The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
**Note:** There is no MOT test data available for the 1987 Mazda 626 GLX in the DVLA light-vehicle database, so we cannot provide a reliability verdict based on test results. This 37-year-old compact saloon was a dependable workhorse of the late 1980s, known for reasonable build quality and straightforward mechanics typical of that era. The median mileage of 110,368 miles suggests these cars have generally been well-used but not driven into the ground, which is realistic for vehicles now approaching four decades old.
Any 626 GLX on the road today is a period survivor and will require patience, specialist knowledge, and realistic expectations about parts availability and repair costs. Before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection by a mechanic familiar with 1980s Japanese cars, budget for potential rust and wear in fuel systems and electrics, and accept that finding OEM parts will be difficult and expensive.
We have 1,730 1987 Mazda 626 Glx vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.
There are a few reasons this can happen:
- Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
- Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
- MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
- Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
