2020 MG HS Exclusive 1.5L Petrol · HV70 ALO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 2025‑09‑01 recorded 16 646 miles and returned a PASS with no defects, indicating the car met all standards at that test. The preceding entry on 2024‑09‑30 showed only minor tyre advisories—a near‑side rear nail puncture and an off‑side rear cut—yet still passed, suggesting those issues were not severe enough to affect safety. The earlier test in October 2023 also passed cleanly. Overall the pattern shows a consistent, low‑defect history with no emerging mechanical deterioration. Mileage accumulation has been modest relative to the car’s age. Between October 2023 and September 2024 the odometer rose from 8 468 mi to 12 948 mi, a gain of roughly 4 480 mi in eleven months. The following year saw a further increase of about 3 698 mi to reach 16 646 mi. This translates to an average of roughly 4 000 mi per year, well below typical usage for a six‑year‑old vehicle. The data gaps—only three tests over three years—reflect a low‑usage ownership pattern rather than rapid wear. A prospective buyer should focus on the tyre condition highlighted in the 2024 test. Inspect the near‑side rear tyre for any embedded nail or puncture damage and verify the off‑side rear tyre’s cut does not compromise the tread or cords. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as low mileage can sometimes mask corrosion that develops during prolonged static periods. Check brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and look for any rust or corrosion on chassis components, especially around wheel arches and underbody panels. Finally, verify fluid levels, battery health, and exhaust emissions, as infrequent engine operation can lead to neglected consumables despite low mileage.
