2004 MG TF 1.6L Petrol · FV04 FLH

The 2004 MG TF is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a significant deterioration trend. The most recent test on 2026-06-18 was a failure at 92,877 miles, with two consecutive failures recorded between 2022 and 2021, demonstrating that the vehicle has not maintained its mechanical integrity since the 2020 test. This pattern of repeated failures confirms that the car's structural and mechanical systems have deteriorated over time, rather than being a temporary anomaly. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle is approximately 22 years old and has logged 92,877 miles, averaging roughly 4,222 miles per year. While the average mileage is considered low for its age, the sheer volume of accumulated miles suggests a lack of consistent upkeep. The data shows no significant gaps in mileage accumulation; rather, the vehicle has maintained high mileage for nearly a decade, which correlates with the progressive wear of suspension components, brake discs, and other drivetrain parts that have been exposed to constant use. Given the recurring faults and the overall deterioration trend, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person with specific focus on suspension and braking systems. The history reveals that suspension components, including suspension bushes, ball joints, and bearing pins, have been corroded and weakened in multiple tests, indicating that these parts are likely to fail under normal operating conditions. Additionally, the brake systems have been flagged as binding or corroded, which is a critical risk factor. The buyer should verify whether the suspension is still within its original design limits and whether the brake discs are free of corrosion, as these issues have been present in the most recent test.
