2009 MG TF 1.8L Petrol · DX09 LEU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent test on 6 May 2025 at 43,354 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite a failure entry on the same day which listed no faults. This suggests a potential administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately, as the car has maintained a clean record through its previous annual inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,550 miles per year. Between April 2022 and May 2025, the car covered only 716 miles, moving from 42,638 to 43,354 miles. Such low usage indicates the car has likely spent long periods stationary or is used very sparingly. While this reduces wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, it often introduces risks related to rubber degradation, seized components, and fluid breakdown that mileage alone does not capture. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis, as the MG TF is prone to corrosion which can accelerate when a vehicle sits idle. The lack of advisories regarding suspension bushes or brake lines in the recent history is encouraging, but the low mileage necessitates a check for perished rubber hoses and seized brake calipers from inactivity. Inspect the tyres for age-related cracking, as the tread depth likely masks the actual state of the rubber compound.
