2018 MG 3 1.5L Petrol · KM18 TRY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in June 2025 at 38,678 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reveals a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While the June 2025 test resulted in a failure due to a nearside rear tyre with exposed cords, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass with no recorded defects suggest that the owner addresses safety-critical faults once they are flagged by the tester. At eight years old, the recorded mileage of 38,678 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,835 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between February 2023 at 17,281 miles and June 2024 at 28,790 miles, where the vehicle covered over 11,000 miles in just sixteen months. However, the usage slowed again significantly, with only 9,888 miles recorded in the following year. This low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and potential brake-related issues if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should inspect the tyre condition closely, as the history shows 2024 alerts for edge wear and low tread alongside the 2025 failure for structural tyre damage. The recurring nature of uneven edge wear often indicates incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes which may require a professional assessment. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should also check for seized brake calipers or corroded discs, as these are common issues on vehicles that are not driven frequently. No structural corrosion or mechanical failures have been noted in the records, which is a positive indicator for the chassis integrity.
