2022 MG 5 Exclusive Electric · DS22 AAZ

The most recent MOT on 13 March 2026 at 48,197 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle is presently roadworthy and that the earlier reflector fault has been rectified. The progression from a minor lighting advisory in June 2025 to a defect‑free status by September 2025 and maintained through the latest test suggests a stable, improving maintenance pattern. At 48,197 miles the MG 5 is roughly 12,000 miles per year, which is above average for a four‑year‑old car. The mileage rose from 40,099 miles in June 2025 to 40,369 miles in September 2025, then to 48,197 miles by March 2026 – an increase of over 8,000 miles in nine months. This rapid accumulation points to consistent, relatively heavy use rather than long periods of inactivity, and may accelerate wear on consumables and suspension components. A prospective buyer should verify that the off‑side rear reflector now functions correctly and that all rear lighting operates without flicker. Inspect tyre tread depth and uniformity, as high mileage often coincides with tyre wear. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, and check brake discs and pads for uneven wear or glazing. A visual survey for corrosion on chassis rails and around wheel arches will confirm that the higher mileage has not introduced structural rust. Addressing these items during a pre‑purchase inspection will provide confidence that the vehicle’s mechanical condition aligns with its MOT record.
