2021 MG HS Exclusive Phev Auto 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · OU71 XNL

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate from the September 2023 test, indicating that maintenance has been addressed in a stable manner since then. The tester flagged binding rear brakes, which is a critical structural risk that requires immediate visual and mechanical inspection to be confirmed. The brake system is not currently in a condition of binding or excessive wear, but the presence of the binding issue necessitates a thorough check of the caliper and disc assembly to rule out hidden corrosion or damage. The mileage record shows a steady accumulation of 5 years of driving at approximately 2,778 miles annually, which is consistent with the vehicle's age. While the total mileage is low relative to the vehicle's age, the trend suggests that the owner has maintained the car for a significant period without experiencing rapid consumption of critical components. The absence of defects in the 2025 and 2024 tests indicates that the mechanical condition has remained acceptable, though the specific binding issue identified in the September 2023 test remains the primary concern for the buyer. To determine if the vehicle is roadworthy, the buyer must perform a physical inspection of the brake calipers, discs, and wheel bearings to verify that the binding condition has been resolved and that the suspension and drivetrain are in sound condition. The vehicle is therefore not currently in a state of failure, but the specific mechanical risks associated with the binding rear brakes must be fully assessed before purchase to ensure long-term reliability.
