2022 MG HS Exclusive 1.5L Petrol · MJ22 ONF

Verdict The 2022 MG HS EXCLUSIVE presents a significant safety risk due to a distinct pattern of wear on critical braking and suspension components. The most recent MOT on 2025-10-15 failed on the rear brake disc, which was worn, pitted, or scored but not weakened. This failure is a critical finding because brake discs are the primary source of failure in the rear axle and are the most likely point of failure for a vehicle of this age. The failure is likely due to overuse. The vehicle's history shows a clear trend of increasing wear on the front brake disc and shock absorbers. The 2024-10-17 MOT confirms that the front brake disc has been worn, pitted, or scored, and the shock absorbers have light misting of oil. This indicates that the vehicle has been used for a significant portion of its life, likely in daily driving or light commercial use, which accelerates wear on these components. The rear brake failure is a major red flag for safety. The mileage context suggests that 31,864 miles over 4 years is roughly 7,966 miles per year. This is typical for a 2022 vehicle, meaning the vehicle is well within its service life.
