2023 MG 4 Trophy Electric · GK23 AWU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in March 2026, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred consumable upkeep. The test on March 2, 2026 at 25,675 miles failed due to multiple tyre-related defects. While the vehicle passed the following day after replacements, the presence of nails and low tread across all four tyres indicates that the previous owner ignored basic tyre maintenance until it reached critical failure points. At 25,675 miles, the MG 4 Trophy has averaged approximately 8,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a three-year-old vehicle. This relatively low mileage suggests that mechanical components like the drivetrain and suspension should not have excessive structural wear. However, the failure in the March 2026 test demonstrates that low mileage does not equate to proactive care, as the vehicle was driven with tyres operating below legal safety limits. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and alignment settings. The advisory from the March test noted the offside rear tyre was worn on the edge, which often points to incorrect geometry or worn suspension bushes and control arms. The presence of nails in two tyres also suggests a lack of attention to road debris, which could have caused internal damage to the tyre sidewalls. Verify that the new tyres are of a consistent quality and check for uneven wear patterns that would indicate an unresolved alignment issue.
