MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

20 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Mg Mgf (N211 BJM) between March 2006 and July 2022.

The record contains 16 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 21 July 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (15 issues), Tyres (14 issues), Lighting (13 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 47 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Trailing arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”; “Nearside Rear Trailing arm rubber bush deteriorated resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.2)”; “Stop lamp excessively damaged so that it is not visible from a reasonable distance (1.2.1d)”.
