MG MIDGET1972 · 1.3L PETROL

The roadworthiness status of this MG Midget is currently stable and reflects a clean bill of health according to the most recent DVSA records. The vehicle passed its test on 9 October 2025 at 90,323 miles with zero defects recorded, mirroring the previous clean pass from October 2024. This consistent performance indicates that the vehicle has been well-maintained and kept in a roadworthy condition throughout the last two years of operation. The recorded mileage of 90,323 over a 54-year lifespan averages to approximately 1,673 miles per annum, confirming a pattern of light, intermittent use. The minimal mileage accumulation of only 139 miles between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests suggests the vehicle is likely used as a weekend classic rather than a daily driver. While this low usage prevents the rapid wear of drivetrain components, it often points to long periods of inactivity which can lead to specific mechanical issues related to storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer during prolonged periods of standing. Check the brake system for signs of seized calipers or wheel cylinders, as low-mileage classics often develop binding brakes from hydraulic fluid degradation and corrosion. Inspect the underside thoroughly for structural integrity, specifically looking for corrosion in the sills, floor pans, and chassis rails, as these areas are notorious for rust on this model. Verify that the rubber suspension bushes and fuel lines remain supple and free from perishing, as these components often deteriorate due to age rather than mechanical friction.
