2022 MG HS Exclusive 1.5L Petrol · LD22 UPH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend regarding the braking system shows signs of deterioration. In the most recent test in June 2026 at 49,072 miles, the tester flagged both nearside and offside rear brake discs as worn, pitted and scored. This represents a regression from the July 2025 test at 39,333 miles, where the discs were merely noted as worn but not excessively. The progression to pitting and scoring suggests the discs are reaching the end of their functional life. At 49,072 miles over four years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 12,268 miles per year. This figure is above the national average for a passenger car, indicating higher-than-normal wear on consumable components and mechanical assemblies. The 9,739-mile interval between the July 2025 and June 2026 tests confirms consistent annual use, which explains the accelerated wear on the rear braking hardware over that short period. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the rear braking assembly to determine if the calipers are seizing or contributing to the recurring surface corrosion on the discs. The buyer should also check the thickness of the brake pads to ensure they are compatible with the scored rotors. Given the high mileage and the noted condition of the brakes, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and tyres for wear is prudent, as these components often show significant stress around the 50,000-mile mark.
