MOT Analysis

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

22 MOT tests are recorded for this 1999 Mg Mgf (T272 DTR) between January 2006 and September 2023.

The record contains 13 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 21 September 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (26 issues), Brakes (14 issues), Tyres (12 issues), Lighting (10 issues), Bodywork (8 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 27 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.

Recorded failure items include: “Exhaust emissions exceed manufacturer's specified limit (8.2.2.2 (a))”; “Offside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Service brake efficiency below requirements (1.2.2 (a) (i))”.
