MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Mg Tf (GN52 AVD) between September 2005 and August 2018.

The record contains 14 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 29 August 2018 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (24 issues), Suspension (19 issues), Lighting (7 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 46 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Upper Suspension arm rubber mounting deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”; “Nearside Front Upper Suspension arm rubber mounting deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”; “Offside Front Brake hose ferrule excessively corroded (3.6.B.4e)”.
