2014 MG 3 1.5L Petrol · AF14 EZM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 28 August 2024 at 125,138 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean tests suggests that the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a standard that meets the minimum safety requirements without the recurring mechanical failures often seen in cars of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per annum. Between August 2020 and August 2024, the car covered 61,689 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. The most significant jump in mileage occurred between August 2021 and August 2022, where the vehicle clocked 20,827 miles in a single year. This high interval indicates the car has been used regularly, which often helps prevent the internal corrosion and brake seizing issues associated with long periods of standing. While the MOT history shows no flagged advisories, a physical inspection must focus on high-wear components common to high-mileage MG3 models. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade after 100,000 miles. Given the consistent mileage, a close look at the brake discs for thinning and the tyres for uneven wear is essential, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than overall condition. The structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches should also be verified to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed that has yet reached the threshold of a test failure.
