Recorded failure items include: “Hazard warning switch inoperative with ignition off (4.4.2 (a) (ii))”; “Brake fluid contaminated (1.8 (a))”; “Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))”.
Common Problems: MG TF
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Head Gasket Failure(Serious)
Like the ZR, the TF uses the K-Series engine. The mid-engine layout makes cooling even more critical.
- Subframe and Sill Rust(Serious)
The front and rear subframes, sills, and rear wheel arches are highly prone to rust. Pre-2007 Chinese-built cars are generally better protected, but all TFs need careful inspection underneath.
- Electrical Gremlins(Moderate)
Electric windows and central locking can play up. The roof wiring loom for heated rear screens often frays and breaks over time due to repeated folding.
