2022 MG HS Exclusive Phev Auto 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · EY22 OCO

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 1 April 2026. The overall maintenance trend appears stable as the vehicle has avoided any major failures; however, there is a recurring advisory regarding a cut in the nearside front tyre that has persisted since the March 2025 test. This indicates a lack of proactive replacement for a known defect, though it currently remains within legal limits. With a recorded mileage of 18,323 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 4,581 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK national average. While this suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine, transmission, and suspension components, such low usage often implies periods of standing, which can introduce specific risks related to component stagnation rather than wear and tear. During a physical inspection, the prospective buyer should closely examine the nearside front tyre to ensure the cut has not worsened or developed a bulge, which would indicate structural failure of the carcass. Furthermore, the presence of odd speed rated tyres on the rear axle must be addressed. You should verify that the fitted tyres meet the original manufacturer specifications, as mismatched speed ratings can adversely affect vehicle stability and may invalidate insurance policies in the event of a claim. Given the low annual mileage and the nature of the plug-in hybrid powertrain, particular attention should be paid to the health of the 12V auxiliary battery and the condition of the brake system. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, which are common in vehicles that spend long periods stationary. Additionally, verify the service history to ensure that oil and filter changes have been performed based on calendar intervals rather than mileage alone, as engine lubricants degrade over time regardless of use.
