2014 MG 6 1.8L Diesel · AF14 EZG

The vehicle has passed its most recent MOT on 19 March 2026 with a mileage of 87,545 miles, showing no immediate defects. However, a review of the preceding MOT history reveals a consistent and worsening pattern of mechanical neglect. The vehicle failed its test on 30 January 2026, citing extensive corrosion on all brake pipes and significant wear on suspension components, including the offside front inner suspension arm ball joint. This recurring failure to address structural and protective components indicates a clear trend toward increasing mechanical risk. The mileage of 87,545 miles over a twelve-year period is within the expected range for this model, yet the history demonstrates a failure to maintain basic preventative care. Between February 2024 and January 2026, the car failed three consecutive inspections, with the most recent failure on 30 January 2026 highlighting severe issues with exhaust emissions, parking brake efficiency, and widespread brake pipe corrosion. This sequence of failures suggests that previous owners have not prioritized essential upkeep, allowing consumable wear and structural degradation to accumulate unchecked. A buyer should inspect the suspension and braking systems thoroughly. The history shows repeated issues with corroded coil springs across all four corners and worn front inner suspension ball joints, which are critical components for steering and ride quality. Furthermore, the repeated failure to address brake pipe corrosion, which was noted in multiple tests, requires close examination for signs of rust or grease buildup around the wheel arches. The tyre condition also warrants scrutiny. Multiple entries from 2024 indicated that the tyres were worn close to the legal limit, suggesting that basic consumable replacements have been deferred. While the brake discs were noted as worn and pitted in 2025, they were not deemed seriously weakened at that time, but the overall pattern of neglect points toward potential issues with the entire braking system requiring professional assessment.
