2019 MG 3 1.5L Petrol · CT68 ERY

The 2019 MG 3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 March 2026 at 56,410 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior three annual tests also passed cleanly. The single failure on 21 February 2024 at 36,920 miles is anomalous in that the DVSA entry records no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. No recurring advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the five-year record. Annual mileage averages 8,059 against the vehicle's seven-year age, a typical use profile. The records show steady accumulation: 27,040 miles at the 2 February 2023 test, 36,920 by 21 February 2024, 47,404 by 19 February 2025, and 56,410 by 3 March 2026. The clean sweep of passes with no advisories suggests the previous owner kept basic consumable wear in check and addressed items before they reached test-threshold condition. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished electronic history. The absence of recorded advisories means tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and brake caliper operation were within limits on test days but offer no forward view of remaining service life. Given the car's low annual use, check for perished rubber components and flat-spotted tyres from standing periods. Inspect structural integrity underneath for early corrosion, particularly on sills and subframes, since MOT passes at low mileage can mask slow moisture ingress. Verify the 21 February 2024 failure paperwork with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect, then assess clutch wear and gearbox smoothness given the light motorway use implied by the mileage pattern.
