2021 MG 3 Exclusive NAV VTI-Tech 1.5L Petrol · MW71 CWK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive servicing. In the most recent test in November 2025 at 34,753 miles, the car initially failed due to thin rear brake pads, insufficient washer fluid, and perished rear tyres. While the vehicle passed immediately after these rectifications, the failure suggests the owner only addressed mechanical faults once prompted by an official test failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical low-use urban driving, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 17,347 miles recorded between the November 2024 test at 17,406 miles and the November 2025 test at 34,753 miles. This indicates the vehicle was driven regularly over that twelve-month period, which explains why certain consumable items like brake pads and rubber components showed signs of wear despite the relatively low total mileage figure for a 2021 model. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the condition of the rear tyres and braking assembly. The 2025 record flagged both rear tyres for signs of cracking and perishing, which often occurs when a vehicle sits for long periods or is exposed to UV damage. The buyer should verify that the replacements made are of quality and do not show immediate signs of sidewall degradation. Additionally, because the rear brake pads were noted as wearing thin during the last test, an inspector should check the remaining rear brake discs for scoring or heat spotting that may have resulted from uneven wear or binding calipers.
