2021 MG HS Exclusive 1.5L Petrol · LD71 VVG

The MG HS Exclusive presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 26 February 2026 at 44,892 miles passing with zero defects recorded. This outcome indicates that the vehicle met all DVSA roadworthiness standards at that time, with no advisories or failures noted across brakes, suspension, structural integrity, or exhaust emissions. The absence of recurring faults across all three recorded tests suggests consistent upkeep rather than a pattern of neglect or escalating wear. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,978 miles per year. The interval between the September 2024 test at 27,600 miles and the September 2025 test at 40,475 miles shows a gain of 12,875 miles over twelve months, which is slightly above the annual average but not excessive. The subsequent period from September 2025 to February 2026 added only 4,417 miles over five months, indicating lighter use during that shorter window. No significant gaps or anomalies appear in the recorded history, though the limited number of entries means long-term trends beyond this window cannot be confirmed. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a physical inspection focused on components that MOT tests only partially assess. The suspension system, including coil springs, dampers, and suspension bushes, warrants close examination given the vehicle's age and mileage, as wear here often develops gradually between test cycles. Brake discs and pads should be measured for thickness and condition, even though no binding calipers or uneven wear were flagged. Underbody corrosion and structural rust around load-bearing points, subframes, and sills should be inspected, since surface corrosion can develop between annual tests without triggering a failure until it becomes advanced. Tyre condition and tread depth across all four corners should also be verified, as uneven wear patterns can indicate alignment or suspension issues not visible in a static MOT check.
