2021 MG HS Exclusive 1.5L Petrol · LG21 GST

This vehicle maintains a consistent record of roadworthiness with no failures, although the nature of its advisories has shifted from external tyre damage to internal braking wear. While it passed its latest inspection on 2026-08-10, the emergence of pitted and scored offside rear brake discs alongside thinning inner rear brake pads indicates that the rear braking system is now reaching a point of required maintenance. A total recorded mileage of 27,515 miles over approximately five years represents a low annual average of roughly 5,503 miles. This low-intensity usage pattern generally results in reduced wear on the engine and drivetrain components compared to high-mileage equivalents. However, low annual accumulation can lead to surface corrosion on brake discs or the degradation of rubber components due to inactivity, which aligns with the current advisories regarding the condition of the rear discs. Attention must be paid to the rear braking system during the pre-purchase inspection. The pitted and scored condition of the offside rear disc, combined with thinning inner pads, suggests uneven wear or potential caliper binding. During a test drive, listen for any grinding or scraping sounds from the rear of the vehicle under braking and feel for any unusual pedal judder or a lack of linear deceleration. The historical record shows a recurring pattern of nail punctures across various tyres throughout 2024 and 2025. While these were superficial advisories, a thorough physical inspection of the current tyre treads is necessary to ensure no remaining punctures have been improperly repaired. Ensure the tyres are free from sidewall bulges or uneven wear patterns that could indicate alignment issues, despite the low overall mileage.
