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

This 2004 Mg has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 43,734 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the high annual usage and repeated tyre issues make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely high annual usage, averaging 21,611 miles per year, with a notable spike of 29,907 miles between June 2009 and June 2010.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures and advisories across 5 tests (2007, 2011, 2013) indicate chronic wear.
  • High annual mileage (21,611 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) suggests heavy use.
  • Major failure for fuel system on 2013-05-30, though fixed, is a concern for a 22-year-old diesel.
  • The 2013-06-04 MOT pass followed a failure on 2013-05-30, suggesting a borderline pass.

Working in its favour

  • Vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 3/5 stars is average for its era.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures demonstrate owner diligence.
