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

This 2017 Mg has 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate. The high number of advisories for critical components like brakes and tyres suggests a history of reactive maintenance.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 6,935 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a notable increase in annual usage from 2022 onwards.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Aug 2020, Aug 2021) escalated to a major binding brake failure (Aug 2021).
  • Recurring suspension advisories (e.g., coil spring, track rod end) across multiple tests (Apr 2023, Apr 2024, Apr 2025).
  • High number of advisories (15+ related to brakes and suspension) indicates a history of reactive maintenance.
  • Offside Rear Service brake excessively binding (Aug 2021) is a serious safety defect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until December 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
