2021 MG HS Exclusive 1.5L Petrol · D7 NBR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of deferred brake component replacement. The most recent test on 18 June 2025 at 54,323 miles flagged thin front brake pads and pitted or scored front brake discs. This mirrors the findings from the previous June 2024 test at 46,365 miles, indicating that the previous owner waited for components to reach their failure limit rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,865 miles per annum. The 7,958-mile interval between the June 2024 and June 2025 tests suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing. While the mileage remains within a typical range for a modern SUV, the repeated wear on the braking system over these intervals suggests the vehicle is likely used in urban driving conditions which accelerate component degradation between service intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the braking system before purchase. The recurring pitting and scoring on the front discs suggest either exposure to corrosive elements or low-quality materials, which can affect braking efficiency and cause noise. Given that rear pads were also noted as thin in 2024, the buyer should verify the current thickness of all four pads and ensure they have been replaced since the last advisory. Additionally, checking the suspension bushes and bushings for wear is advisable, as the history of neglected proactive brake care often correlates with minimal attention to other mechanical wear items.
