Vehicle Public Record vs. Hidden Financial Risk
Public MOT roadworthiness: Good.
This score reflects past DVSA test passes and advisory frequency. However, it does not check if the car has £15,000 of unpaid finance, an insurance write-off marker, or a police theft report.
Verify finance, insurance write-offs, stolen markers, and mileage rollback before making an offer.

Common Problems: MG TF
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Head Gasket Failure(Serious)
Like the ZR, the TF uses the K-Series engine. The mid-engine layout makes cooling even more critical.
- Subframe and Sill Rust(Serious)
The front and rear subframes, sills, and rear wheel arches are highly prone to rust. Pre-2007 Chinese-built cars are generally better protected, but all TFs need careful inspection underneath.
- Electrical Gremlins(Moderate)
Electric windows and central locking can play up. The roof wiring loom for heated rear screens often frays and breaks over time due to repeated folding.
