1968 MG MGC 2.9L Petrol · TGX 103F

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test in April 2026 at 9,525 miles with no defects recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend following several minor mechanical issues identified in earlier years. The transition to a clean sheet in the latest inspection suggests that previous concerns regarding the steering and wheel bearings have been addressed or the vehicle has been maintained to meet operational standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 58-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 164 miles per year. There is a significant gap in recorded data between 2013 and 2021, where the mileage dropped from 11,434 to 2,367 miles, suggesting a long period of storage or minimal use. The subsequent increase of 7,158 miles over those five years indicates more regular use, though the low annual mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fluid breakdown rather than mechanical wear and tear on the drivetrain. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the steering and suspension assemblies, as these areas showed recurring faults. The 2011 and 2012 tests flagged free play in the steering rack and inner joints, while the 2021 test noted noisy wheel bearings. Additionally, the previously reported minor oil leak should be verified to ensure it has not worsened since the last test. Given the age and periods of low use, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and brake lines is essential, as long-standing vehicles often suffer from hidden rust that low-mileage does not prevent.
