1950 MG TD 1.3L Petrol · ZE 7227

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of reactive maintenance. The most recent MOT test in July 2025 at 39,845 miles returned a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical failures have been addressed. This follows a notable improvement from the July 2024 test where the car failed due to brake imbalance and lighting misalignment, which were rectified before the subsequent pass. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 76-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 524 miles per annum. Between July 2023 and July 2024, the car covered 1,231 miles, while the most recent one-year interval saw an increase of 921 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle experiences minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but it also implies periods of standing which can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seized seals, and corrosion on exposed surfaces. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system, given the failure at 38,918 miles where the front brakes were imbalanced by more than 50 percent across the axle. While the later pass suggests the calipers or discs were serviced or adjusted, low-use vehicles often suffer from uneven pad wear or sticking pistons. Attention should also be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis and bodywork, as the record does not detail historical corrosion levels which are a common risk for vehicles of this era regardless of mileage.
