2020 MG 3 1.5L Petrol · GL20 AEX

The 2020 MG 3 remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the latest DVSA test on 1 August 2025 at 9,587 miles which returned a pass and no defects. That examination sits nearly eleven months behind today's date of 14 July 2026, placing the car close to its next test deadline. Three consecutive annual checks in 2023, 2024 and 2025 recorded zero advisories. The previous keeper clearly met statutory obligations. The car is roughly six years old with 9,587 recorded miles, averaging about 1,598 miles per year. The records chart a gradual accumulation: 4,784 miles at the 1 August 2023 test, 7,140 miles by 29 July 2024, and 9,587 miles by 1 August 2025. No dramatic gaps or rapid surges exist. Such low yearly use implies either light commuting or extended stationary periods, though the test history gives no cause for concern. Despite the absence of recorded advisories, low mileage coupled with possible standing warrants a physical check of consumable and structural items that inspections may not flag when dormant. The buyer should examine tyre sidewalls for perishing and tread evenness, as rubber degrades with age rather than wear. Brake discs may show surface corrosion from inactivity; calipers could bind after long rest. Suspension bushes and coil spring coatings deserve scrutiny for environmental cracking. The tester noted no structural integrity issues, yet a ramp inspection for underside corrosion remains prudent.
