AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2002 Mg has 11 MOT tests on record with a 91% pass rate and 20,632 miles. The vehicle has been off-road for a significant period, and a major brake failure in 2014 requires careful investigation.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Nov 2009 (99 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant 2010 gap, and then only 20,632 miles in 24 years, indicating potential long-term disuse or fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage before Nov 2009 (99 mi/yr equivalent).
  • Mileage anomaly: Significant 2010 MOT gap suggests long-term disuse or fraud.
  • Major failure: Brake failure in Feb 2014, though rectified, indicates past neglect.
  • Age & wear: 24-year-old vehicle with 20,632 miles is a major red flag for accumulated wear.

Working in its favour

  • Clean recent MOT: Passed 10 of 11 tests with no recent failures or advisories.
  • No recurring failures: Single major failure in 2014 was immediately rectified.
  • Low insurance group: 4 out of 50, making it cheap to insure.
  • Euro NCAP rating: 3/5 stars (2017) indicates a basic level of safety.
