2017 MG 3 1.5L Petrol · BJ67 LHP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in February 2025. While the maintenance trend appears stable overall, the failure recorded just four days prior to that pass indicates a lapse in preventative inspections. The tester at 37,244 miles identified critical safety issues regarding front brake pad thickness and a fractured offside rear coil spring, both of which were addressed to achieve the subsequent pass at thirty-seven thousand hundred miles. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,100 miles per year. Data shows a significant usage gap between the October 2022 test at 14,528 miles and the February 2024 test at 23,994 miles, where nearly 9,000 miles were covered in sixteen months. This low annual mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to degradation of rubber components and corrosion if the car sits for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry to ensure no other components have developed fractures since the spring failure. Given that the offside rear coil spring failed in 2025, it is vital to check the opposite offside spring for similar signs of stress or corrosion. The braking system should also be evaluated for caliper binding or uneven wear, as the front pads were found at the absolute limit of legality during the last failure, suggesting the owner only replaced parts once a defect occurred.
