Public MOT Roadworthiness vs. Experian Title Verification
MOT Roadworthiness Score: Good.
This score reflects recorded MOT passes and advisory patterns from official government data. However, a roadworthy car can still have £15,000 of unpaid finance debt, a total-loss write-off marker, or a police theft report.
Verify finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen markers, and mileage rollback before paying the seller.

Common Problems: MG TF
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Head Gasket Failure(Serious)
Like the ZR, the TF uses the K-Series engine. The mid-engine layout makes cooling even more critical.
- Subframe and Sill Rust(Serious)
The front and rear subframes, sills, and rear wheel arches are highly prone to rust. Pre-2007 Chinese-built cars are generally better protected, but all TFs need careful inspection underneath.
- Electrical Gremlins(Moderate)
Electric windows and central locking can play up. The roof wiring loom for heated rear screens often frays and breaks over time due to repeated folding.
