AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2002 MG TF passed its most recent MOT test on 2025-10-20 at 72,329 miles, despite minor issues with steering rack inner joints and a slight play in the offside rear wheel bearing. While some problems persist, the overall maintenance trend appears to be stable, with no major defects or failures reported in the last two years. However, recurring issues with steering rack inner joints and wheel bearings suggest a need for closer attention to these components. The recorded mileage of 72,329 miles, accumulated over approximately 24 years, is remarkably low, indicating either light use or prolonged periods of inactivity. Notable gaps in the mileage record are not evident, and the annual mileage of around 3,014 miles is consistent throughout the history. This suggests a relatively stable pattern of use, although the exact circumstances remain unclear. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's steering rack inner joints and wheel bearings in person, given the recurring issues flagged in the MOT history. The presence of slight corrosion on brake hoses and suspension component mounting areas also warrants investigation. Furthermore, the underbody and suspension components were noted to be covered in underseal in the 2022 MOT test, which may indicate previous rust issues. The buyer should also check for any signs of rust or corrosion on the sub-frames, as these were previously reported as corroded but not seriously weakened.
