2022 MG HS Exclusive 1.5L Petrol · SL22 KYY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its MOT pass in March 2026, yet the record indicates a concerning trend of deferred maintenance regarding critical components. While the car passed the test, the tester flagged multiple defects that suggest basic wear items are reaching the end of their service life. The presence of simultaneous steering and braking issues in a single inspection suggests the vehicle is operating on a reactive schedule rather than undergoing proactive preventative care. At 33,446 miles over four years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,360 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK domestic usage patterns. This relatively low mileage suggests that the drivetrain has not been subjected to high-stress environments, but the faults recorded in the March 2026 test show that even low mileage does not prevent premature wear on specific components, likely due to environmental exposure or periods of stationary use. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the steering system, specifically addressing the offside front play in the steering rack inner joints. This mechanical play can lead to imprecise handling and accelerated uneven tyre wear if left unaddressed. The front brake discs are also noted as pitted and scored, indicating the protective coating has failed or the components have suffered significant surface corrosion. Given that both front tyres were also flagged for nearing the legal limit, the buyer should budget for an immediate replacement of the front braking assembly and both tyres to restore the vehicle to an optimal standard.
