2008 MG TF1.8L Petrol

The vehicle is road‑worthy as of the 27 August 2025 MOT, where it passed at 95,165 miles, yet the test recorded several advisories – front anti‑roll bar pin/bush wear, near‑side front lower integral body corrosion, rear brake‑linkage corrosion and rear sub‑frame mounting corrosion – indicating a mildly worsening maintenance trend despite the recent pass. Mileage has risen from 88,693 miles on the 3 August 2023 test to 92,005 miles on 21 August 2024 and to 95,165 miles on 27 August 2025, an average increase of roughly 3,300 miles per year. This low annual accumulation aligns with the overall figure of about 5,300 miles per year since registration, suggesting light or intermittent use rather than any abrupt mileage spikes or undocumented gaps. A prospective buyer should examine the front anti‑roll bar bush for excessive play, verify that the near‑side front lower integral body corrosion has not progressed, and confirm the repair of the off‑side front lower integral body that caused the 22 August 2025 failure. Inspection of the rear brake linkage and sub‑frame for structural integrity, as well as a visual check of the brake discs for corrosion, is essential. The oil leak noted on three consecutive tests warrants locating the source and assessing any potential impact on engine seals. Finally, confirm the condition of the rear exhaust mounting, tyre tread depths, and headlamp aim, as these items have previously failed or been flagged.
