This 2002 Mg has 25 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 17,955 miles. The mileage trajectory is also highly suspicious, with periods of very low usage and a significant decrease in 2014, raising serious odometer integrity concerns.

The mileage shows a significant decrease from 49,196 miles on 04 Jan 2014 to 47,944 miles on 04 Dec 2014, indicating a possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Jan 2014 (49,196 mi) and Dec 2014 (47,944 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
  • DANGEROUS suspension failures in 2005 and 2008, with recurring advisories.
  • Major failures for windscreen, lights, tyres, and emissions across multiple years.
  • Mileage decreased from 49,196 miles (Jan 2014) to 47,944 miles (Dec 2014).

Working in its favour

  • Current MOT is valid until 2026-12-15, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded on the latest MOT.
  • The vehicle has a consistent registration number and DVLA data.
  • The car has a valid MOT certificate, which is a legal requirement.
