MOT Analysis

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

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2018 Mg 3 (SW18 NFU) between June 2022 and June 2026.

The record contains 5 passes and 0 failures.

The record shows no MOT failures, although 10 advisory notices note items to monitor.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (3 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Lighting (1 issue), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 10 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
