Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
This 2004 MG TF passed its most recent MOT on 12 September 2025 with no defects recorded. That test is now roughly nine months old, so the vehicle's condition at that point was sound from a legal and safety standpoint. Over the five MOT records supplied, the car has shown a completely clean pattern. Every test from September 2021 through September 2025 resulted in a pass with no issues flagged. The mileage has risen only 4,255 miles across that four-year span, moving from 22,877 to 23,132 miles. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained and that any defects have either been caught and corrected promptly or have not yet emerged. The recorded mileage of 23,132 miles on a 22-year-old car averages roughly 1,051 miles per year. This is significantly below typical annual wear, and it signals extended periods of light use or storage. Very low mileage can be a double-edged signal. On one hand, it suggests the engine, gearbox, and core drivetrain have not been worked hard.
