2014 MG 6 1.8L Petrol · FO57 ERP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 13,642 miles, this followed a significant failure just ten days prior. The trend shows a pattern of addressing faults only when forced by the MOT tester, particularly regarding lighting and wipers. The failure of the parking brake and suspension components in August 2025 suggests that the vehicle has suffered from neglect despite its low travel distance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old car, averaging approximately 1,137 miles per year with a total of 13,642 miles. There is a three-year gap between the 2021 and 2024 tests, during which only 140 miles were recorded. Such infrequent use often leads to material degradation that mileage does not capture. This is evidenced by the 2021 advisory regarding cracking rubber on all four tyres, which is a classic symptom of dry rot from age and lack of movement rather than tread wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough underbody inspection to address general corrosion noted in both 2024 and 2025. The tester specifically flagged corroded suspension and brake components, which can seize or compromise structural integrity if the car sits stationary for long periods. You should also verify the parking brake efficiency personally, as it failed the requirements in late 2025. Given the history of defective wipers and cracked tyres, the rubber components across the vehicle are likely nearing the end of their functional life and require immediate replacement regardless of the low odometer reading.
