AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Mg has 9 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 19,597 miles. While these were addressed, the repeated nature of these faults suggests potential underlying wear or maintenance neglect.
The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage averaging 9,656 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring brake failures (Apr 2023, Apr 2025) and advisories (Apr 2023, Apr 2025) suggest a systemic issue.
- Multiple suspension advisories (Apr 2023, Apr 2025) and a major coil spring failure (Apr 2022) point to ongoing wear.
- Two major windscreen failures (Apr 2023, Apr 2025) and wiper advisories (Apr 2023, Apr 2025) indicate a history of visibility issues.
- The 'head gasket' and 'gearbox/clutch' issues reported by the community align with the recurring brake and suspension faults.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until April 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (9,656 mi/yr) aligns with typical UK usage.
- All major failures (brakes, windscreen, suspension) were promptly rectified and passed retests.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
