MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

12 MOT tests are recorded for this 2016 Mg 3 (DS16 ADU) between March 2019 and June 2026.

The record contains 9 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 11 June 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (8 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Windscreen (1 issue), Bodywork (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 22 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Front Sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))”; “Fuel pipe union leaking Fuel filter connection (6.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Offside Front Inner Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn debonded (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
