2003 MG ZR 1.4L Petrol · AD03 HVM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in July 2025. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement compared to the 2022 and 2023 records. While the car previously struggled with brake efficiency and tyre-related failures, the lack of any advisories or defects in the most recent test at 105,802 miles suggests that the previous owner addressed the immediate mechanical and consumable issues identified in prior years. At 23 years old, the recorded mileage of 105,802 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. The data indicates very consistent and low usage over the last three years, with only 1,086 miles covered between the July 2024 and 2025 tests. This pattern of long-term storage or low mileage often suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it also correlates with the degradation of rubber components and the onset of corrosion due to periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, as the July 2022 test flagged corrosion on both rear inner and outer sills. Although the car has passed since then, structural rust is a progressive condition that can hide beneath under trays. You should also inspect the steering rack for continued signs of fluid leakage, as seepage was noted in 2022, and check the suspension geometry. The history of inner-edge tyre wear in 2022 and 2023 indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature tyre degradation.
