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

This 2001 Mg has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 18,114 miles. The vehicle's age, low mileage, and unexplained history make it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 20,204 miles over 25 years, averaging only 890 miles per year, with a significant 3-year gap in MOT records (Oct 2007-May 2011) and unverified mileage during this period.

Things to check

  • Extremely low mileage: 20,204 miles in 25 years (Jan 2001 to Sep 2023) — well below UK average.
  • Critical 3-year MOT gap: No test recorded from Oct 2007 to May 2011 — mileage unverified during this period.
  • 2011-05-06 MOT failure: Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid — a basic safety system failure.
  • Mileage anomalies: 8+ flags for suspiciously low annual usage, unverified gaps, and potential odometer fraud.

Working in its favour

  • No recent MOT failures: The single 2011 failure for washer liquid was immediately rectified.
  • Low insurance group: 4 out of 50, making it cheap to insure.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating: 3/5 stars (2017) — indicates some basic safety features.
