2020 MG 3 Exclusive NAV VTI-Tech 1.5L Petrol · CU70 OPK

The MG 3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 July 2025 at 52,049 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual or near-annual tests also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 2 October 2023 at 35,728 miles, which the DVLA record shows with no defects listed; the vehicle passed two days later on 4 October 2023 at 35,757 miles, indicating the failure was administrative or a tester error rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or emissions appear anywhere in the history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,675 miles, typical for a 2020 registered hatchback. The record shows 35,757 miles at the October 2023 test, 42,727 miles by June 2024, and 52,049 miles by July 2025. That equates to about 7,000 miles in the first interval and 9,300 in the second, a consistent light-to-moderate use pattern with no sudden accumulation that would accelerate drivetrain or consumable wear. The clean sheet across all passed tests suggests the previous owner kept up with servicing, though the sparse gap between the October 2023 and June 2024 entries leaves a seven-month window with no recorded inspection. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of common wear points not captured by a pass with no defects. Check the front coil springs and lower suspension arms for cracked bushes, and measure brake disc thickness and caliper operation front and rear. Examine the sills, subframes, and exhaust mountings for early corrosion given the car is now six years old. Tyres and wiper blades should be visually confirmed despite no advisories being raised. The absence of recurring faults means no worsening mechanical trend is evident. Given the low defect history, this MG 3 shows signs of careful ownership, but an independent pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to confirm underside condition and genuine mileage.
