2023 MG 3 Exclusive NAV VTI-Tech 1.5L Petrol · AF23 LFS

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following a pass at the 12 March 2026 test with 34,975 miles recorded and no defects listed. The maintenance trend is stable with a clean recent history, though the preceding failure on 6 March 2026 at 34,683 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a wear-related fault. At roughly three years old the car shows 34,975 miles, equating to about 11,658 miles per year, which sits within typical use for its age. The gap between the two March 2026 tests spans only six days and 292 miles, with the failed entry showing no faults and the pass confirming clean status. The sparse record gives little basis to infer neglect, though the brief fail without defects suggests the prior owner addressed a paperwork or identification issue rather than deferred mechanical upkeep. A buyer should still verify the reason for the 6 March 2026 failure through DVSA refusal codes, as the absence of listed defects does not exclude a cancelled or mislogged test. Given the clean pass and low mileage, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and structural integrity are unlikely to show premature wear, but a physical inspection should confirm no corrosion or undertray damage from the early life of the car. The record implies a lightly used vehicle with consistent annual mileage and no advisory buildup across its short history. Prospective owners should prioritise a visual check of tyre condition, wiper operation, and exhaust emissions during any viewing, as these consumables remain outside the scope of the defect-free 2026 tests.
