2021 MG HS Exclusive S-A 1.5L Petrol · MW71 CWG

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the most recent inspection indicates a slight decline in preventative maintenance compared to the previous year. In the November 2025 test at 25,220 miles, the car passed despite several minor defects that were absent during the November 2024 test. This trend suggests that while the primary mechanical components remain sound, attention to detail regarding consumable items and exterior fittings has begun to lapse. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,044 miles per annum. The interval of 7,194 miles between the November 2024 test at 18,026 miles and the November 2025 test shows consistent usage, which generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain and suspension. However, such low-mileage nature often masks the degradation of rubber-based components that age over time through exposure to the elements rather than physical tread wear. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front tyres, as the November 2025 record flagged cracking and perishing on the outer sidewalls. This is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods, and the rubber may have lost elasticity despite having sufficient tread depth. The tester also noted an insecure registration plate lamp which requires immediate securing to ensure compliance with lighting regulations. Because child seats prevented a full inspection of the adult seat belts during the latest test, the buyer must manually verify that all buckles are functional and the webbing is free of fraying or damage.
