1995 MG MGF1.8L PETROL

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently questionable due to a lack of MOT testing for over five years years. The last recorded test on 10 December 2020 at 111,713 miles resulted in a failure for an insecure battery, an inoperative rear fog lamp switch, and pitted offside front brake discs. While the car passed immediately after these repairs, the absence of any records since 2020 suggests either long storage or a lapse in legal compliance by the previous owner. The recorded mileage of 111,713 miles over a 31-year span represents a very low average of approximately 3,600 miles per year. This low usage pattern is evident in the gaps between tests, such as the only 891 miles driven between June 2019 and December 2020. While low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, the periods of standing implied by these figures often lead to degradation of rubber components, seized brake calipers, and corrosion of fluid lines which are not fully captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front braking system, as the history shows a recurring trend of the offside front brake binding and discs pitting between 2019 and 2020. The nearside front wheel bearing was also flagged as rough in 2019 and should be checked for excessive play or noise. Given the age of the MG MGF and the long interval between tests, specific attention is required for the structural integrity of the rear sills, as these vehicles are prone to significant corrosion that remains hidden when a car sits stationary for extended periods.
