2018 MG 3 1.5L Petrol · TH10 ADS

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2026-03-12 MOT at 71,754 miles. The prior 2025-03-11 test (64,567 miles) and 2024-03-20 test (56,510 miles) also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. While a 2024-03-20 entry notes a failure, no defects were recorded, suggesting the issue was resolved before the subsequent pass. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident from the MOT history. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,969 miles annually. Gaps between tests are regular, with the 2023-03-17 MOT (45,412 miles) marking the earliest recorded data. The 2024-03-20 test shows a sudden jump from 45,412 to 56,510 miles, implying a 11,098-mile increase within 12 months, which may reflect seasonal or heavy use. Subsequent years show more moderate accumulation, with 8,000 miles between 2024 and 2025, and 7,187 miles between 2025 and 2026. No irregularities in service intervals or mileage spikes are apparent. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, which are common wear points in this model. Brake systems, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrant inspection for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop without triggering MOT failures. Structural corrosion, especially in underbody areas, should also be assessed, as it may not be flagged in routine tests. The absence of recorded defects suggests diligent upkeep, but a pre-purchase inspection is advised to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
