2023 MG MG4 SE SR Electricity · DY23 HWD

A pattern of tyre wear has emerged over the last two years despite a consistent record of passing MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 11 March 2026 resulted in a pass, but noted that the nearside front tyre was worn on the edge and very close to the legal limit. This follows the February 2025 test, where both the offside and nearside rear tyres were flagged for similar edge wear, indicating a recurring issue with tyre longevity or alignment. The vehicle has covered 47,633 miles in roughly three years, averaging nearly 16,000 miles per annum. This high rate of usage means that consumables and chassis components have been subjected to significantly more stress than average for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this translates to accelerated wear on suspension components, steering rack tolerances, and braking hardware. The specific advisories regarding tyres worn on the edges necessitate a close examination of the wheel alignment. On a test drive, the buyer should feel for any steering pull or a steering wheel that fails to return to centre naturally. A physical inspection of the remaining tread should be conducted to see if the edge wear is consistent across all four tyres, as this may point to tracking issues. Due to the high mileage, the suspension should be scrutinized for signs of fatigue. Listen for knocks or rattles over speed bumps and uneven surfaces, which may indicate worn suspension bushes or linkages. The braking system should also be evaluated for any pedal judder or uneven braking force, ensuring there is no evidence of binding calipers or excessive disc wear.
