2021 MG HS Exclusive S-A 1.5L Petrol · LD21 HPW

The vehicle's recent MOT history indicates a worsening maintenance trend. While the car passed its most recent test on 29 October 2025, the number of advisories recorded at 56,118 miles suggests a decline in basic upkeep compared to the previous year. The tester flagged multiple issues involving all four tyres, noting they were worn close to the legal limit and showed signs of cracking or perishing. The presence of pitted or scored rear brake discs and a coolant leak from the tank further indicates that consumable components and cooling system integrity are beginning to degrade. The recorded mileage of 56,118 miles against a 2021 registration shows an average annual usage of approximately 11,224 miles. This pattern represents typical UK driving habits for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a consistent progression from 49,790 miles in October 2024 to 56,118 miles in October 2025, confirming steady use rather than long periods of inactivity. This regular usage explains the wear seen on the tyres and brake discs, though the specific condition of the rubber suggests maintenance intervals may have been stretched. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the cooling system to identify the source and severity of the coolant leak. The tester specifically noted the coolant tank as the point of failure, so checking the hoses, radiator, and water pump for secondary leaks is essential. The tyres should be replaced immediately if they show significant sidewall cracking, as this indicates age-related degradation regardless of tread depth. The brake discs require close examination to determine if the pitting and scoring are superficial or if the rotors require replacement. Given the multiple advisories regarding tyre condition and brake wear, the vehicle's general service regime should be verified through service history records to ensure that routine fluid changes and component inspections have been performed alongside the MOT tests.
