2021 MG 5 Exclusive Electric · FG70 XUS

The MG 5 Exclusive presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean test record throughout its life. The most recent examination on 13 February 2026 at 84,935 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests also closed with no advisories or failures. On the evidence of the DVLA MOT data alone, the vehicle has shown no worsening mechanical faults, no recurring consumable neglect, and no structural or emissions concerns across its five-year service life. Mileage accumulation runs high for a 2021 registered car. The record shows 45,118 miles at the February 2024 test, rising to 64,750 miles by February 2025 and 84,935 miles by February 2026. That equates to roughly 19,600 miles covered in the final twelve-month span and an overall average near 17,000 miles per year, well above typical private-use figures. The three tests sit exactly twelve months apart with no gaps, which indicates the keeper maintained statutory testing discipline even under heavy use. A clean MOT sheet with zero advisories across three consecutive years suggests previous owners addressed wear before each test rather than letting minor faults accumulate. No tester flagged tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or underbody corrosion at any stage. Such a spotless history on a high-mileage EV-derived estate implies disciplined maintenance, though it also means the record offers no early warning on components now nearing end of life. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the braking system, suspension geometry, and structural integrity given the 84,935-mile loading. High annual distance accelerates deterioration of damper performance, wheel bearings, and drivetrain mounts even when MOT advisories are absent. Verify genuine service invoices for coolant, reduction gear oil, and brake fluid, since the MOT only confirms statutory minimum standards on the test day, not ongoing component health.
