This 2021 Mg has 3 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 29,981 miles. The 'just passed MOT' tactic is evident, and immediate tyre and oil checks are essential.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 29,981 miles by Oct 2024 and 43,030 miles by Oct 2025, averaging 8,939 miles per year.

Things to check

  • 2025-10-24: Failed MOT for Tyre Pressure Monitoring System malfunctioning.
  • 2024-10-15 & 2025-10-24: Recurring Nearside Front Tyre advisories indicate ongoing wear.
  • 2025-10-24: Engine oil leak advisory noted, suggesting a potential future repair.
  • Community-reported faults: Head gasket, gearbox, clutch, corrosion, EGR valve, injector, wishbone — extensive model-specific weaknesses.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-11, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • Low insurance group (4) means lower running costs and premiums.
  • Recent MOT pass (Oct 2025) after addressing the tyre pressure monitoring system failure.
