1980 MG MGB 1.8L Petrol · FNP 538W

The 2025-02-12 MOT at 65,888 miles passed without any recorded defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No defects were noted in the 2023-08-21 or 2022-09-13 tests, confirming consistent condition. The mileage has risen only modestly, from 65,095 miles in September 2022 to 65,529 miles in August 2023, a gain of 434 miles, and then to 65,888 miles in February 2025, adding 359 miles. These increments correspond to roughly 1,400 miles per year, well below the average for a 46‑year‑old car, suggesting the vehicle has spent considerable time stationary. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, test the brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, and examine the chassis rails and wheel arches for structural rust. Checking the exhaust system for leaks or excessive corrosion, verifying tyre tread depth, and assessing the condition of wiper blades and other consumables will complete a thorough physical evaluation.
