2019 MG 3 1.5L Petrol · CA19 XTX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its pass on 7 May 2026, but the maintenance trend has shifted from stable to worsening. While the car passed without defects in 2023 and 2024, the most recent test at 24,495 miles required a retest after a failure. The tester flagged critical tyre damage, specifically exposed ply and cords on the front tyres, alongside a non-functional stop lamp and ineffective wiper blades. Several advisories remain, including a worn nearside front shock absorber bush and pitted front inner brake discs. The mileage is exceptionally low for a seven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,499 miles per year. The record shows a significant jump in usage between May 2024 at 9,993 miles and May 2025 at 23,040 miles, where the car covered over 13,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the mileage has remained relatively static, increasing by only 1,455 miles over the following twelve months. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres and braking system. The May 2026 failure for exposed cords, combined with the perishing rear tyres and the May 2025 advisory for worn front edges, suggests a pattern of neglecting basic consumable upkeep. The presence of pitted brake discs and a worn shock absorber bush indicates that the vehicle may have suffered from periods of standing or a lack of preventative maintenance. The damaged windscreen and the recurring tyre issues point toward a lack of attention to detail by the previous owner. While there are no reports of structural corrosion or major mechanical failure, the current advisories regarding the suspension and brakes should be addressed immediately to prevent further degradation.
