2021 MG HS Exclusive S-A 1.5L Petrol · CF71 AAV

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT on 1 April 2026 at 31,982 miles, which showed no defects. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears to be improving. The car moved from a failure in March 2025 to a clean pass in 2026, suggesting that the mechanical issues identified during the previous testing cycle were addressed. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical low-to-mid usage pattern for a five-year-old vehicle. The car covered 6,454 miles between April 2024 and March 2025, and then approximately 8,354 miles between March 2025 and April 2026. This averages out to roughly 6,400 miles per year, which aligns with the recorded total of 31,982 miles. The steady progression of the odometer indicates regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and front-end components. The March 2025 tests flagged both nearside and offside rear brake discs as being worn, pitted, or scored. While the 2026 test passed without mention of these issues, a manual check of the rear disc surfaces and pad thickness is advisable to ensure the previous pitting has not recurred or been masked by a superficial cleaning. The failure in March 2025 also highlighted excessive play in the nearside front wheel bearing. Although this was recorded as a failure, the subsequent pass suggests the component was replaced. I recommend a hands-on inspection of the front wheel hubs to check for any vibration or noise that might indicate a substandard replacement or a secondary issue with the suspension assembly. Finally, verify that the rear seat configuration allows for a clear view of all seatbelt anchorages, as a child seat previously obstructed the inspector's view.
