1987 MG METRO1.3L PETROL

The 1987 MG Metro has a single recorded MOT failure from 2011, when it had 46,515 miles. This is the only entry in its history, meaning there is no recent data to assess changes in condition. The vehicle is now 39 years old, with a recorded mileage of 46,515 miles—approximately 1,193 miles per year. This low mileage suggests either light use or extended periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion and component degradation. The 2011 failure highlighted multiple critical issues. Corrosion was severe in key structural areas, including the nearside front subframe and offside front seat belt anchorage, both of which are safety-critical. Missing nearside front wheel studs pose an immediate risk of wheel detachment. The fluid suspension system on both axles failed entirely, indicating potential structural or mechanical damage. Electrical faults, such as non-working rear position lamps and a missing registration plate lamp, were also noted, along with excessive exhaust emissions and engine smoke. These issues collectively point to a vehicle in poor mechanical and safety condition.
