2018 MG GS 1.5L Petrol · LL68 AOK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline into reactive rather than proactive care. While the recent test in November 2025 at 65,568 miles passed, it returned with multiple advisories related to tyre wear and suspension leaks. This marks a shift from the clean records seen between 2021 and 2023, indicating that the current owner is only addressing faults once they reach inspection thresholds. The recorded mileage of 65,568 miles over eight years averages to approximately 8,200 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a family SUV. The data shows a steady increase in mileage between the December 2024 test at 57,003 miles and the November 2025 test at 65,568 miles, covering over 8,000 miles in under eleven months. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, though the increasing frequency of tyre failures suggests that components are not being monitored between these annual intervals. A physical inspection must focus on the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the 2024 and 2025 tests repeatedly flagged uneven tyre wear and edge-cutting. The light oil misting on the offside front shock absorber noted in November 2025 is an early sign of seal failure and should be monitored for worsening leaks. The buyer should also verify the rear braking system, as the failure in late 2022 for significantly worn pads and discs indicates a history of neglecting brake components until they became unsafe.
