2017 MG Supercharged Unknown 1.8L Petrol · Q553 NBW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on 10 April 2025 at 1,446 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a mechanical failure in 2024. While the 2024 test revealed critical safety issues regarding lighting and braking, the subsequent pass with no recorded advisories indicates that the owner addressed these specific defects to bring the car back to a legal standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 161 miles per year. There are significant gaps between tests, such as the 26-month interval between the April 2022 and August 2024 tests. This usage pattern suggests the car sits stationary for long periods. While low mileage generally limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it often increases the risk of perished rubber components, seized calipers, and fluid degradation, which may explain the leaking offside rear brake cylinder recorded in August 2024. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the offside rear hydraulic brake system to ensure the leak identified in 2024 has been fully rectified and not merely patched. Given the low mileage, the tester should also check for flat-spotting tyres and cracking in the sidewalls from prolonged storage. The minor exhaust leak noted in May 2023 should be verified visually to ensure the manifold or piping has not developed structural corrosion, as infrequent use can lead to internal internal rust buildup within the exhaust system.
