2015 MG 3 1.5L Petrol · EO15 ABK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-10-08 confirms it remains roadworthy at 23,449 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This marks a stable pattern over the past three annual tests, all passing without fail, though the 2024 cycle included a rare repeat test on 2024-10-23—likely due to administrative oversight rather than mechanical failure. The absence of recurring advisories or defects suggests the vehicle has not experienced persistent issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions, which are common failure points in this model. However, the lack of any advisories also means no prior warnings were issued for potential wear in critical areas like structural corrosion or drivetrain components, leaving those as unknowns. The recorded mileage of 23,449 miles over approximately 11 years—roughly 2,132 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. The gaps between tests are consistent, with no sudden spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity, which might otherwise raise concerns about neglect or storage conditions. The most notable anomaly is the identical mileage on the 2024-10-22 and 2024-10-23 tests, suggesting either a test date mix-up or a vehicle that was not driven between those dates. This pattern does not inherently signal poor maintenance but does warrant confirmation that the odometer has not been tampered with. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of areas not directly tested by the MOT—particularly the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as these are critical for structural integrity. The suspension should be checked for uneven wear on bushes or excessive play in ball joints, while brake discs and pads should be inspected for thickness and uniformity, especially if the vehicle has been lightly used but stored in a corrosive environment. The exhaust system should be examined for leaks or rust-through, as emissions tests do not always detect minor failures. Finally, verify the condition of the battery and electrical connections, as low mileage can accelerate corrosion in these components.
