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 19 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 24,694 miles. The vehicle's SORN status and invalid MOT present insurmountable risks.

The vehicle shows a critical 22-year gap in recorded mileage, with suspiciously low readings before Nov 2018 (411 mi/yr equivalent) and a complete absence of data from 2004 to 2018.

Things to check

  • Mileage shows a 22-year gap from 2004 to 2018, with suspiciously low readings before Nov 2018.
  • The vehicle is currently on SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) with no valid MOT.
  • MOT expiry date of 2025-11-30 is impossible for a 2004 vehicle, indicating a critical data anomaly.
  • Multiple recurring engine oil advisories (2019, 2021) suggest a chronic underlying issue.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • No specific green flags are present in the MOT history for this 2004 vehicle.
