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

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Mg Mgf (R577 BJO) between July 2006 and September 2022.

The record contains 14 passes and 9 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (38 issues), Suspension (29 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (18 issues), Lighting (14 issues), Tyres (10 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
