2020 MG HS Exclusive S-A 1.5L Petrol · AJ69 FVS

The MG HS presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 May 2025 at 143,070 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 22 May 2024 at 119,312 miles also showed a clean sheet. The only blemish is a failed test on 17 January 2023 at 77,489 miles, reversed three days later on 20 January 2023 at the same mileage with a pass and no defects logged, which points to an administrative or minor rectification rather than a serious mechanical fault. Mileage sits high for a 2020 plate. The car covered roughly 23,845 miles a year, climbing from 77,489 miles in January 2023 to 119,312 miles by May 2024 and 143,070 miles by May 2025. That equates to about 41,800 miles in the first sixteen months of 2023 to 2024, then 23,758 miles in the following year, a slight easing but still heavy use. The sparse record shows no advisories across any pass, so wear on consumables like tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes is undocumented rather than confirmed clear. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person given the mileage. High annual coverage loads drivetrain components, coil springs, and suspension bushes well beyond typical private use. The January 2023 fail with no defects listed warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason, as some entries omit advisory detail. Look closely at brake calipers for binding, exhaust emissions under load, and structural integrity beneath sills and subframes for corrosion. The clean MOT history suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the lack of recorded advisories at this mileage means worn components may simply be undocumented rather than absent.
