2021 MG 3 Exclusive NAV VTI-Tech 1.5L Petrol · EA71 OXZ

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state, but the MOT history reveals a significant gap between the 2025 and 2024 tests. The most recent inspection on 2025-08-14 at 50,402 miles was passed with a minor offside rear tyre defect, whereas the 2024 test on 2024-09-13 at 49,243 miles was also passed without defects. This indicates that the maintenance trend is stable in terms of passing the test, but the gap between these two dates suggests the vehicle may have been serviced between August 2025 and September 2024, potentially leaving the rear tyre in poor condition. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has maintained approximately 10,080 miles per year over its 10,080-mile total, which is consistent with its age. The data shows no signs of rapid mileage accumulation or sudden wear on consumables, as both tests were passed with clean records. The mileage is not a factor in the immediate safety assessment, as the vehicle has not experienced a major crash or sudden failure during the testing period. Given the stable MOT record and clean mileage, the buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical components rather than relying on the test results. The most critical areas to verify are the suspension, brakes, and exhaust emissions, as the 2025 test flagged a cracked or perishing rear tyre. If the tyre is cracked, the vehicle is not roadworthy and must be towed to a specialist. The brakes should be checked for binding calipers and binding rear brakes, as the 2025 test did not flag these issues. The suspension bushings and coil springs are a key area to inspect for wear, as the 2024 test did not record any defects. The buyer must verify that the exhaust emissions are within the current standards and that the drivetrain components are in good condition, as the 2025 test did not flag any such issues.
