2021 MG 5 Exclusive Electricity · SH71 PZO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 May 2026 at 68,777 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, as the suspension and braking issues identified in previous years have seemingly been addressed. While the latest test is clean, the historical data indicates a vehicle that has required reactive maintenance regarding wear-and-tear components to maintain its passing status. At 68,777 miles over five years, this MG has averaged approximately 13,755 miles per year, which sits above the national average for a car of this age. The record shows consistent and heavy usage, with 13,900 miles covered between November 2024 and December 2025, and another 2,367 miles in the last six months alone. This high mileage profile typically accelerates the degradation of mechanical components, particularly suspension bushings and braking hardware, compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should prioritize an inspection of the front suspension geometry. The December 2025 test at 66,410 miles flagged worn bushes on both nearside and offside front lower suspension arms, and while the 2026 test passed, a physical check is necessary to ensure no new play has developed in the wishbones. The November 2024 report also noted pitted front brake discs and a critically worn rear inner tyre, suggesting the previous owner may only replace components once they reached failure thresholds. Verify the current state of the brake pads and the depth of all four tyres to ensure the high mileage has not resulted in uneven wear or premature thinning.
