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 7 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 51,114 miles. However, the 2007 MOT gap and a history of power steering and head gasket issues are significant concerns.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,000 miles/year with no anomalies, but a 2007 MOT gap suggests a period of inactivity or unrecorded history.
Things to check
- 2007 MOT Gap: No MOT recorded for a full year, indicating potential SORN or off-road use.
- Recurring Lighting Issues: Four advisories for lights across 2008 and 2009 tests, indicating a persistent electrical or mechanical fault.
- Head Gasket History: Community reports of a high-risk head gasket failure, a known weakness for this model.
- Power Steering Issues: Consistent reports of power steering problems, a recurring concern for this vehicle.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Consistent Mileage: Mileage has tracked consistently with no suspicious drops or spikes, averaging 8,000 miles/year.
