2018 MG 3 1.5L Petrol · AD63 RAD

The MG 3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 17 February 2026 at 61,297 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared with no defects noted at that test. Prior to this, the same-day failure on 17 February 2026 at 61,270 miles is anomalous; DVSA logged no defects, which points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,662 miles per year. The record shows 53,090 miles on 3 February 2024, rising to 57,136 miles by 3 February 2025 and 61,297 miles by February 2026. Annual accumulation held near 4,000 miles in the last two years, below the lifetime average, suggesting lighter recent use. The data is sparse, with only three pass results and two same-day fail entries carrying zero advisories or defects across the board. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the absence of any recorded advisories offers no insight into wear on these components. The clean record provides no evidence of corrosion or structural concerns, but eight years of service can conceal undertray rust or exhausted dampers not captured in the tests. The repeated same-day fail and pass cycles in February 2025 and February 2026 with no defects suggest clerical rejections rather than owner neglect. Previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing discipline. Verify the vehicle has not stood idle for extended periods despite low annual mileage, as stagnant use accelerates brake binding and tyre perishing.
