Our Verdict
Proceed with caution regarding recent me
Before purchasing, you should request evidence that the nearside front inner steering rack joint issue noted in the December 2025 MOT has been professionally rectified. Additionally, check if the nearside front tyre, which was noted as being worn close to the legal limit, has been replaced with a new unit.
Ask the seller for a service history to complement the MOT data. While the MOT history shows no defects for several years, it does not confirm regular oil changes or scheduled maintenance. Given the 1.5L petrol engine, ensuring the vehicle has been serviced according to the manufacturer's intervals is vital for long-term reliability.
The 1498cc petrol engine is positioned in a relatively economical bracket for small hatchbacks. Expect moderate fuel consumption suitable for mixed driving, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Tax and insurance groups for the MG 3 are typically competitive, making it an accessible option for newer drivers or those looking to keep fixed costs low. Maintenance costs should be standard for a small petrol car, though you should budget for upcoming tyre replacements and potential steering component work based on the most recent MOT findings.
A priority inspection should focus on the steering system. The December 2025 MOT recorded 'Nearside Front Inner Play in steering rack inner joint(s)', so you must ensure this has been repaired and that there is no lingering vibration or noise through the steering wheel during a test drive.
Check the condition of all four tyres, not just the nearside front which was flagged as worn on the edge. Uneven tyre wear can sometimes indicate alignment issues, which may be linked to the steering rack advisory. Finally, check the headlamps and brake pipes, as these are common failure points for this model across the wider dataset.
This 2019 black MG 3 has covered 41,781 miles since its first registration in December 2019. The vehicle has a consistent MOT record with three consecutive years of defect-free passes before a recent advisory in December 2025. Its mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 6,028 per year, but it remains within a reasonable range for a petrol-powered hatchback of this age.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 82.5% MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to tyres, headlamps, and brake pipes.
