2019 MG HS Exclusive 1.5L Petrol · B23 ADA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 48,033 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just one month prior in December 2025. The trend indicates that mechanical components are only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure, specifically regarding the rear braking system which was flagged across both the 2024 and 2025 tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage profile, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between November 2023 (32,518 miles) and December 2024 (39,955 miles), where the vehicle covered roughly 7,400 miles in thirteen months. This low annual mileage often leads to the premature degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the perishing and cracking of the offside rear tyre noted during the December 2024 inspection. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear braking system, as the record shows a recurring issue with thin pads and worn discs. The tester flagged the offside rear pad at less than 1.5mm in late 2025, suggesting the owner ignored thinning components until the MOT failure occurred. You should also verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system is fully functional, as this was noted as inoperative in 2024. Given the low mileage, check the sidewalls of all tyres for dry cracking to ensure the rubber has not aged out despite the low tread depth.
