2016 MG 3 1.5L Petrol · CF16 CXP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a successful MOT test on 19 November 2025 at 61,696 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed tests after immediate rectification of previous failures. While the record shows failures in both 2024 and 2025, the subsequent passes suggest that issues were addressed promptly rather than being allowed to develop into progressive mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-to-mid-range usage, averaging approximately 6,170 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 55,768 miles and the November 2025 test at 61,696 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 5,900 miles. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as perished rubber components or fluid degradation if the vehicle was not driven regularly. A buyer should focus physical inspections on the areas that caused the failures in October 2024 and November 2025, as the provided summary does not list the specific defect codes for those dates. Given the age of the MG 3, it is essential to check the structural integrity for corrosion, particularly on the s sills and rear suspension mounting points. Inspect the suspension bushes for signs of cracking and check the brake calipers for binding, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from seized components due to lack of use rather than mechanical wear.
