MG HS EXCLUSIVE S-A2022 · 1.5L Petrol

The MG HS presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 21 March 2026 at 53,627 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, with the only blemish being a failure on 17 March 2026 at 53,620 miles that listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven stop. Within four days the vehicle cleared the retest cleanly, indicating no outstanding mechanical concerns at that point. At roughly four years old the car shows 53,627 miles, equating to about 13,400 miles per year, which sits high for a 2022 model and implies sustained motorway or commuter use rather than occasional local running. The recorded history is sparse, with just two March 2026 entries seven miles apart, so no long-term mileage accumulation pattern or prior annual tests are visible to judge wear progression. The high annual average points to above-normal loading on consumables and drivetrain parts despite the thin MOT trail. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension bushes, brake discs and calipers, and exhaust emissions given the elevated mileage for age, even though the latest test flagged nothing. The unexplained failure days before the pass warrants checking the DVSA refusal reason in person, as a no-defect fail can mask a documentation or identity mismatch rather than a clean bill of health. Verify structural integrity underneath for corrosion and confirm the gearbox and haldex-style couplings on the automatic drivetrain show no fluid or binding issues under load.
