2020 MG HS Exclusive S-A 1.5L Petrol · HV70 AHA

This MG HS has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past three MOT cycles, all passing without defects or advisories. The most recent test on 12 September 2025—just under a year ago—confirmed no issues, though the 12-month interval is now slightly overdue by 10 days. The absence of recurring faults suggests the vehicle has been kept in stable condition, though the lack of advisories also implies no pre-MOT attention was recorded. Buyers should verify whether the current owner has addressed any potential wear items between tests, particularly given the approaching due date for another MOT. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 10,781 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged stagnation periods between tests, with intervals of around 5,579 miles (2023–2024) and 5,549 miles (2024–2025). This consistency suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than left unused, which could imply more predictable wear on components like brakes, suspension, and tyres. However, the lack of detailed service records means some maintenance may have been deferred. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear items that aren’t routinely tested. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be checked for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these aren’t covered under MOT standards unless visibly failing. Brake discs and pads, while not flagged, warrant inspection for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. Tyres, though not noted in past tests, should be examined for uneven tread or embedded debris, as failing twice on tread in some vehicles indicates neglect. Finally, assess the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches and sills, as this is often missed in MOT checks but critical for structural integrity.
