2022 MG HS 1.5L Petrol · RX71 AWH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 19 November 2025, yet the mechanical record indicates a trend of deferred maintenance regarding wear components. While the car passed the inspection, the advisories highlight that several critical items are nearing the end of their functional life. The overall status suggests an owner who is addressing faults only when they reach a regulatory threshold rather than performing preventative replacements. At 53,639 miles over four years, this MG HS has covered an average of approximately 13,400 miles per annum. This higher-than-average usage places accelerated stress on the suspension geometry and braking system compared to typical urban use. The most recent test occurred less than eight months ago, meaning the current data is relatively fresh, but the high mileage suggests that drivetrain components and rubber bushings will require closer inspection at this interval. A buyer must prioritize the rear braking system during physical inspection. The 2025 test flagged pitted and scored offside rear brake discs along with rear inner pads approaching the wear indicator. This suggests a full rear brake overhaul is likely imminent to ensure consistent stopping performance. The active TPMS light requires a diagnostic check to determine if a sensor has failed or if a battery is depleted, as this leaves the driver without monitoring for sudden pressure loss. The offside rear tyre showed a cut that should be monitored; although it did not expose the cords during the test, sidewall damage is prone to rapid structural failure. Given the mileage profile, the buyer should also check the front tyres for uneven wear which would indicate alignment issues or worn shock absorbers, common in high-mileage SUVs of this age.
