2021 MG HS Exclusive S-A 1.5L Petrol · NV05 ABV

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive consumable replacement. While the most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 33,884 miles passed, the tester flagged both the front and rear brake pads as wearing thin. This indicates that while the vehicle is structurally sound, the braking components are reaching the end of their service life and require immediate attention to prevent rotor damage or failure in future inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,777 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 16,900 miles and the January 2025 test at 25,661 miles, the car covered 8,761 miles, followed by another 8,223 miles leading up to the January 2026 inspection. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally benefits the mechanical seals and rubber components. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the braking system in person to ensure the thin pads have not caused scoring on the brake discs or rotors. The 2025 inspection at 25,661 miles noted sidewall damage and perishing on both nearside and offside front tyres, which often occurs when a vehicle sits for extended periods or is exposed to harsh elements. Verify the age and condition of the current tyres against this previous wear. Since no structural corrosion or suspension defects were recorded across the history, the primary focus remains on these standard wear and tear items.
