2021 MG HS EXCLUSIVE S-A1.5L PETROL

The MG HS holds a current, clean MOT following its most recent test on 16 September 2025 at 67,910 miles. The maintenance trend appears broadly stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural failures across the two recorded entries. The only advisory raised in 2025 concerned the offside front tyre sitting at 3mm tread depth, a consumable wear item rather than a systemic defect. The 2024 test at 65,982 miles flagged a deteriorated registration plate, which is a cosmetic legality point with no bearing on mechanical integrity. The vehicle has covered approximately 1,928 miles in the twelve months between the September 2024 and September 2025 tests, a sharp drop from the previous annualised average of roughly 13,582 miles. This suggests either a change in owner, a period of very light use, or the car standing for extended stretches. Sparse MOT data limits deeper trend analysis, but the low recent mileage does not automatically imply reduced wear, as prolonged sitting can cause brake disc corrosion, tyre flat-spotting, and dried seals. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system closely, particularly the rear calipers and handbrake mechanism, given the high lifetime mileage and the risk of binding or uneven wear from intermittent use. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and drop links deserve attention, as 67,910 miles on a heavy SUV places significant demand on those components. The nearside and offside front tyres should be measured for remaining tread and checked for uneven wear patterns that could indicate tracking or suspension geometry issues. Structurally, a thorough underside inspection for corrosion is advisable, especially around subframes, suspension mounting points, and inner wing arches, where salt exposure on a high-mileage vehicle can compromise long-term integrity.
