AI verdict AVOID 30/100

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

This 2004 Mg has 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 7,080 miles. The extremely low mileage and unexplained history gaps make this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage averaging 1,287 miles/year, with a significant 4-year MOT gap (Aug 2013-Mar 2018) and unexplained jumps in usage, indicating potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage trajectory is highly suspicious: 1,287 mi/yr average, with unexplained 4-year MOT gap (Aug 2013-Mar 2018).
  • Recurring brake system failures (4 major) and advisories (9 related) across multiple tests.
  • First MOT test on 2007-08-20 is 3 years late for a 2004 registration, indicating potential non-compliance.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 3/5 stars (2017) is below average for a 2004 vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Current MOT is valid until March 2027, indicating recent roadworthiness assessment.
