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 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 17,457 miles. The vehicle's long-term neglect and lack of verifiable roadworthiness make it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 7,769 miles/year, but the single 2007-03-15 MOT test recorded 17,457 miles, which is implausibly low for a 2004 vehicle.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT since 2007-03-15, indicating 22 years of unverified roadworthiness.
  • First MOT test on 2007-03-15 recorded only 17,457 miles for a 2004 vehicle, a critical anomaly.
  • The single 2007-03-15 MOT test failed, but no subsequent retest PASS is recorded in the provided history.
  • The vehicle has been on SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) since 2004, suggesting long-term non-use or neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • No specific green flags are present in the provided MOT history or reference data for this 22-year-old vehicle.
