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

This 2003 Mg has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 75,586 miles. While mileage is consistent, recurring advisories for brakes, exhaust, and lights, plus a 2013 service gap, warrant careful consideration.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, showing normal usage of 10,286 miles/year, with a notable drop in annual usage from 2010 to 2014, but no suspicious decreases.

Things to check

  • 2013 MOT gap: No MOT recorded between 2012 and 2014, indicating potential SORN or off-road use.
  • Recurring exhaust advisories: Flagged in 3 separate tests (2011, 2014, 2015) for inadequate support.
  • Recurring brake advisories: Noted in 7 separate tests (2011, 2014, 2015) for wear and condition.
  • Recurring lights advisories: 3 related advisories (2011, 2014, 2015) for constant issues.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage: Average 10,286 miles/year, no suspicious drops or round numbers.
  • Immediate retests: All 3 failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or next day.
  • No recent major failures: The most recent MOT (Apr 2015) passed without significant issues.
  • Low insurance group: 4 out of 50, making it a cheap and attractive insurance option.
