2016 MG 3 1.5L Petrol · EY65 FHA

The most recent MOT on January 23rd 2026 shows the car passed with 9,476 miles and no defects recorded. The MOT history reveals a consistent pattern of annual passes with no recorded defects across five consecutive tests from 2022 through 2026. The condition trend appears stable with no deterioration visible in the MOT results over the five-year testing period. The vehicle has covered approximately 948 miles per year, which is extremely low for a ten-year-old car. This suggests either very light use or extended periods of non-use, potentially including storage. Low annual mileage may indicate less wear on engine components and drivetrain, though infrequent use can cause issues with fluids, seals, and battery systems deteriorating through inactivity rather than use. The mileage pattern does not suggest aggressive driving or hard use based on the minimal distance covered relative to the vehicle's age. The clean MOT history indicates no major safety defects were identified during annual testing, covering critical areas like brakes, steering, lights, and structural components. However, the extremely low usage rate creates uncertainty about the vehicle's actual condition, as components may have deteriorated through lack of regular operation despite the clean test results. The stable MOT record provides some confidence in the basic roadworthiness, but the usage pattern means potential problems from inactivity may not show up in standard annual testing.
