Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those needing an e
Your primary point of negotiation should be the immediate need for new tyres and brake discs. The MOT record specifically identifies three tyres (Nearside Front, Nearside Rear, and Offside Front) as being close to the legal limit, alongside pitted and scored front brake discs. These are not failures, but they represent an immediate cost for the new owner.
Beyond the MOT data, ensure you request a battery health certificate to verify the state of the electric powertrain. Check for any evidence of charging cable damage and verify that all charging adapters are present, as these are costly to replace.
As a fully electric vehicle, this MG 5 offers significant savings on fuel compared to internal combustion engines, depending on the user's home charging tariff. It currently benefits from zero VED (road tax) and typically falls into a moderate insurance group for its size.
Maintenance costs for EVs are generally lower due to fewer moving parts, but the MOT history for this specific car indicates that tyre and brake maintenance is now due. Estimated annual running costs, including electricity, insurance, and basic servicing, typically range between £600 and £900.
Prioritise a physical inspection of the front brake discs, which the MOT history describes as worn, pitted, or scored. You should also use a tread depth gauge to check the nearside front, nearside rear, and offside front tyres, as these were flagged as being close to the legal limit in September 2025.
Given that aggregate data for 8,482 MG 5s shows headlamps and shock absorbers as top failure reasons, check for any condensation in the headlight units and look for signs of leaking or premature wear on the suspension components.
This black MG 5 Exclusive has recorded 29,399 miles as of September 2025, placing it below the model's average annual mileage of 10,799. While the vehicle passed its MOT on 22nd September 2025, the record is marked by several advisories regarding essential wear-and-tear items. The overall data suggests a vehicle that has been used less than typical examples of this model.
The MG 5 shows a respectable average MOT pass rate of 88.1% based on an analysis of 8,482 vehicles.
