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 19 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 37,000 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of issues suggests significant underlying wear and potential neglect.

The vehicle shows a significant drop in annual usage from 2018 (116k miles) to 2019 (118k miles), followed by a drastic decrease to 2,549 miles in 2020, indicating a clear change in driving patterns or potential odometer issues.

Things to check

  • Recurring exhaust emissions failures (Nov 2018, Dec 2020) and advisories (Nov 2018) point to a chronic issue.
  • Brake hose advisories (Nov 2018, Dec 2020) are a recurring concern, suggesting a systemic problem.
  • Sill corrosion advisories (Nov 2018, Dec 2020) are a serious structural concern for a 23-year-old vehicle.
  • Major suspension failure (Dec 2020) and advisories (Nov 2018) indicate a history of poor maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Low annual mileage (6,722 miles/yr) suggests less wear and tear compared to average.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since the last test in Jan 2021.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, mileage history over its lifespan.
  • No immediate MOT-related repairs are required, as it is currently not valid.
