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 24 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 58,124 miles. While mileage is consistent, the recurring corrosion advisories on critical structural components are a major red flag.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage averaging 8,486 miles/year, with a significant drop from 137k to 146k miles between Nov 2018 and Nov 2019, but no decreases.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defects recorded on 2009-10-28 for tyres and 2018-11-16 for emissions.
  • MAJOR failures for brakes on 2009-10-28 and 2018-11-16, indicating a pattern of neglect.
  • Recurring corrosion advisories on suspension arms and subframes from 2018-11-16 and 2019-11-16.
  • The vehicle has been off the road since 2007, with no valid MOT since 2024-11-16.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory averaging 8,486 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • The 2018-11-16 MOT pass followed a dangerous emissions failure, suggesting a borderline pass.
  • The vehicle has been off the road since 2007, with no current MOT requirements.
