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

This 2003 Mg has 27 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 15,958 miles. The car's age and past maintenance patterns warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging 2,934 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards, suggesting limited use or potential odometer issues.

Things to check

  • Very low annual mileage (2,934 mi/yr) over 23 years, indicating limited use or potential odometer fraud.
  • Recurring CV boot failure (Dec 2018 PRS advisory) escalated to MAJOR defect (Dec 2022), suggesting ongoing electrical gremlins.
  • First MOT test in Dec 2018 was 15 years overdue, indicating a period of non-compliance or lack of maintenance.
  • Dec 2019 MOT shows only 1,851 miles in 12 months, a clear anomaly for a 2003 vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Current valid MOT until 2026-12-28, indicating recent roadworthiness checks.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded since the Dec 2022 pass.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes since 2022.
  • Relatively low insurance group (4/50) for a 2003 vehicle.
