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 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 17,959 miles. While it has a valid MOT, recurring tyre advisories and a past brake failure warrant careful inspection.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 17,959 miles in March 2007, then only 8,871 miles over the next 3 years (Feb 2008), indicating possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below cohort: 45,171 mi total — bottom 10% of similar MGs of this age (typical: 95,117 mi, n=1664 vehicles).
  • Mileage anomaly: 17,959 mi (Mar 2007) followed by only 8,871 mi (Feb 2008–2012), suggesting odometer interference.
  • Recurring tyre advisories: Nearside Front Tyre worn (Feb 2009) and Nearside Front Road wheel slightly damaged (Feb 2009), indicating ongoing wear.
  • Brake failure: Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (Feb 2009) — a safety-critical component failure.

Working in its favour

  • Passed 6 of 8 MOT tests with no failures in the last 3 years, showing recent compliance.
  • No recurring major failures on critical safety systems (brakes, steering, suspension) in recent tests.
  • Consistent annual mileage since 2012, albeit low, suggests regular use without long periods of inactivity.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
