2022 MG 5 Exclusive Electric · HT22 CZP

The MG5 Exclusive presents a clean bill of health through its entire recorded MOT history, with the most recent test completed on 4 December 2025 at 54,892 miles returning zero defects. That result, combined with five consecutive passes stretching back to June 2024, indicates a stable and well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical or structural faults. The maintenance trend is firmly stable, showing no signs of deterioration across any inspected system. At roughly four years old with 54,892 miles recorded, this MG5 has covered approximately 13,723 miles per year, which sits on the higher end for its age group. The mileage progression tells a fairly consistent story. Between the December 2024 test at 45,488 miles and the June 2025 test at 47,578 miles, roughly 2,090 miles were added over six months. Then from June 2025 to the December 2025 test, the odometer jumped from 47,578 to 54,892, an increase of 7,314 miles in the same six-month window. That acceleration suggests heavier use in the latter half of 2025, possibly from longer commutes or sustained motorway driving. The two June 2024 entries at 36,195 and 37,098 miles, just fifteen days apart, likely reflect a retest following a minor issue or administrative correction rather than genuine mileage accumulation. Despite the clean MOT record, the higher-than-average annual mileage means a buyer should pay close attention to components that wear with use rather than age. Front and rear brake discs and pads deserve a thorough check, as sustained high-mileage driving accelerates wear even when the car passes its emissions and braking efficiency tests. Suspension bushes, drop links, and coil springs should be inspected for play or deterioration, particularly if the vehicle has spent significant time on poorly maintained roads. Tyre condition across all four corners, including the spare if fitted, warrants a close look given the rolling wear that 54,000-plus miles inevitably produces. The exhaust system and catalytic converter should be examined for corrosion or deterioration, especially if short trips have been common alongside the longer motorway runs the mileage pattern suggests. Structurally, the clean pass history is reassuring, but a physical underbody inspection remains worthwhile. Check the sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points for any signs of corrosion or damage that might not yet meet an MOT failure threshold. The steering rack and column joints should be tested for excess play, and all suspension components should be assessed for bush degradation. A test drive covering varied road surfaces will reveal any rattles, clunks, or vague steering that a static inspection might miss. The MOT record confirms this MG5 has been consistently roadworthy, but the mileage it has covered demands a buyer who looks beyond the paperwork and verifies the mechanical reality underneath.
