2022 MG HS Excite 1.5L Petrol · LB22 SOU

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 06 July 2026 at 33,199 miles, confirming its current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend regarding the braking system is worsening, as the recurring advisories for pitted and scored rear discs have now progressed to include thinning brake pads. While the vehicle has passed its inspections, the consistent flagging of rear brake components over the last two annual tests indicates that the rear braking assembly is nearing the end of its effective service life and will require imminent mechanical intervention. The recorded mileage of 33,199 miles over a four-year period averages approximately 8,300 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. The consistency of the mileage accumulation between the July 2025 test at 25,457 miles and the July 2026 test suggests regular, moderate use rather than long-term storage or excessive fleet-style operation. This usage profile generally places predictable wear on drivetrain and suspension components, though the braking system is clearly experiencing higher-than-average degradation. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear brake discs and pads to assess the depth of the pitting and the remaining friction material. The surface corrosion noted on the exhaust system in 2025 warrants a visual check to ensure it remains superficial and has not compromised the structural integrity of the silencer boxes or mounting points. Given the recurring nature of the rear brake issues, factor the cost of a full rear disc and pad replacement into the purchase price, as these components are currently operating at the limit of their performance and will likely fail a future inspection if left unaddressed.
