MG TF2002 · 1.8L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of intermittent failures. The most recent test conducted on 17 October 2025 at 93,890 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the previous mechanical or compliance issues have been rectified. While the history shows two failures in 2023 and 2024, the subsequent passes without advisories suggest the current owner is proactive in maintaining the vehicle to meet DVSA standards. The mileage profile is remarkably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,912 miles per year. Between 08 November 2023 and 28 October 2024, the car covered only 1,604 miles, while the interval between the October 2024 test and October 2025 test saw just 964 miles driven. This low frequency suggests the car sits stationary, which increases the risk of age-related degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluids rather than mechanical wear-and-tear on the drivetrain. A buyer should prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and underbody, as the MG TF is prone to corrosion in the sills and rear subframe. Despite the clean recent passes, low mileage often leads to seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes from lack of movement. Given the failures recorded in 2023 and 2024, the specific reasons for those failures should be verified with the owner to ensure they were not indicative of recurring structural leaks or deep rust that could resurface.
