2021 MG HS Exclusive 1.5L Petrol · LD71 VUN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a transition into requiring consumable attention. The most recent MOT test on 4 June 2026 at 54,564 miles resulted in an advisory for thin rear brake pads. While the car passed without major failures, this defect indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its service interval and requires immediate monitoring to prevent failure in the next inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between the September 2024 test at 26,662 miles and the June 2026 test, the vehicle covered 27,902 miles. This represents a relatively high usage pattern, though the lack of recorded defects in the 2024 test suggests the vehicle did not suffer significant mechanical failures or structural deterioration during its earlier years. A buyer should focus on the braking system during a physical inspection to ensure the rear pads have not scored the discs. Given the pads were flagged as thin, it is essential to check the condition of the brake calipers for signs of uneven wear or corrosion. Considering the mileage in service, a thorough examination of the suspension bushes and tyre tread depth is also warranted to assess whether the higher annual mileage has accelerated wear on these rubber components.
