2021 MG HS Excite S-A 1.5L Petrol · DF70 UKN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred mechanical component replacement. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 47,854 miles passed, it introduced multiple advisories related to the braking system. The tester flagged pitted rear brake discs and thin rear pads, alongside worn front discs. This indicates that the braking assembly is now reaching the end of its service life and requires immediate attention to prevent further degradation or uneven performance. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. Data shows steady progression between tests, with roughly 6,200 miles covered between February 2025 and January 2026. The interval between annual tests suggests regular use, though the failure in February 2024 at 35,311 miles involved minor items like a washer jet, fog lamps, and a punctured tyre, which were rectified quickly to secure the subsequent pass. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking hardware, as the pitting and scoring on the discs suggest the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or been operated in a corrosive environment. The front registration plate also requires replacement due to deterioration and physical damage. Given the 2026 advisories, the buyer should verify the condition of the calipers and ensure the rear pads have not reached the metal limit, as the record confirms a clear need for significant wear across both axles.
