Known faults for MG MG GS
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Below Average
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: MG GS
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- 7-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) Low-Speed Shudder and Clutch Judder(Moderate)
The optional 7-speed dry dual-clutch automatic transmission exhibits noticeable clutch judder, hesitation, and jerky power delivery when crawling at low speeds in heavy UK urban traffic. Thermal build-up in stop-and-go driving accelerates clutch friction plate wear and glazes the clutch surfaces, leading to severe vibrations when pulling away from junctions or ascending moderate inclines until the TCU is updated or the clutch pack is replaced.
- Rear Brake Caliper Slider Pin Corrosion and Pad Binding(Moderate)
The rear brake caliper guide pins and slide rails suffer from dirt ingress and corrosion caused by exposure to winter road salt in the UK. Seized guide pins prevent the brake pads from retracting cleanly from the brake discs, creating continuous drag, excessive rear wheel heat, accelerated pad wear, and an uneven braking balance that results in an MOT failure for brake imbalance or binding.
