MG ZR2001 · 1.4L PETROL

This vehicle is a high-risk purchase due to a complete lack of MOT history for the last 13 years. The most recent entry is from May 2013, meaning there is no evidence of roadworthiness or maintenance for over a decade. The recorded history shows a recurring pattern of neglect regarding rubber components and corrosion. There were multiple failures and advisories for perishing CV joint gaiters, worn suspension ball joints, and play in the tie rods. Most concerning is the 2012 record showing slight corrosion across almost every brake pipe on the vehicle. While the mileage is very low for a 25-year-old car, this is a misleading positive. Given the 13-year gap in testing, the low mileage almost certainly indicates the car has been standing for a long period rather than being used sparingly. Long-term standing often leads to seized brakes, perished seals, and accelerated corrosion. The overall condition trend was worsening during its active testing period, with suspension and brake issues appearing consistently. Because the car has likely been dormant since 2013, the current state of the rubber bushings, tyres, and brake system is unknown and potentially dangerous.
