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 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 45,431 miles. The vehicle's age, low mileage, and extensive brake system wear warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,355 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, though a significant drop in 2011-2012 is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures and advisories across 15 tests (2006, 2007, 2014, 2015) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Major failure for 'Offside Front front brake juddering severely' on 2007-06-09 points to a serious safety issue.
  • The 'Untaxed' tax status and 'Not valid' MOT status as of the report date require immediate verification.
  • The 23-year-old vehicle with 45,431 miles is significantly below average for its age, suggesting minimal use.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage.
  • The most recent MOT pass on 2015-06-16 indicates the vehicle was roadworthy at that time.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 is a positive, though for a 2003 model, it's average.
