2020 MG 3 1.5L Petrol · AY20 PFD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 43,798 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but shows a dip in oversight quality during early 2025. While the car returned to a clean record after a failure, the failure in February 2025 indicates that specific mechanical components were neglected until the point of inspection, necessitating a re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. There is a steady progression in mileage between the 2023 test at 29,456 miles and the 2026 test at 43,798 miles. The gap of only 132 miles between the February 2025 failure and the subsequent pass suggests the owner addressed the necessary repairs immediately rather than delaying them, though the low annual mileage does not explain the mechanical wear that led to the failure. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry specifically, as the February 2026 advisory noted a nearside front tyre worn on the inner edge. This often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that could lead to premature tyre degradation if not corrected. The fractured nearside rear coil spring noted in 2025 should be visually inspected to ensure the replacement part is showing no signs of sagging or fatigue. Additionally, the wiper blades should be checked for streaking, as the previous failure indicated they were failing to clear the glass effectively.
