2016 MG 3 1.5L Petrol · CE65 AVP

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable pattern of passing tests, with the most recent result being a pass on 12 December 2025. This follows a failure on the same date, although the record does not specify the nature of the defect that caused the initial failure. The absence of recorded advisories or defects in the 2025, 2024, and 2023 tests suggests a period of consistent compliance regarding minimum legal standards. The recorded mileage of 60,291 miles indicates an average annual usage of approximately 6,000 miles since the vehicle's inception. This represents relatively low usage for a 2016 model. The MOT timeline shows a gap between the November 2021 test and the May 2023 test, but the subsequent annual testing from 2023 through 2025 demonstrates regular compliance with testing intervals. Because the MOT records show no specific mechanical or structural failures such as suspension bushes, brake binding, or corrosion, there are no documented trends of worsening components. However, the failure recorded on 12 December 2025 without a listed defect description means the specific cause of that failure remains unknown. A physical inspection should focus on verifying that the issue identified during that specific test was rectified. A buyer should perform a manual check of common wear items that do not always trigger MOT advisories, such as the condition of the brake discs, tyre tread depth, and the integrity of the exhaust system. Given the low annual mileage, it is also prudent to inspect for signs of age-related degradation in rubber components like suspension bushings or engine mounts, which can perish even when a vehicle is driven infrequently. buying_score: 75 risk_level: Low.
