2022 MG 5 Exclusive Electric · WF72 BWG

High annual mileage combined with emerging wear in the front suspension assembly defines the mechanical profile of this vehicle. While the most recent MOT test on 11 August 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, the preceding year's inspection on 28 August 2025 flagged advisories for worn pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension lower arms. This indicates that the vehicle has begun to show signs of wear in its steering and suspension linkages, though the most recent pass suggests these components have not yet reached a state of failure or excessive movement. The vehicle's usage pattern involves a relatively high rate of accumulation, covering approximately 54,819 miles over its four-year lifespan. This equates to an average of roughly 13,705 miles per year, which is higher than the standard UK average for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this sustained level of use typically accelerates the wear on consumable components such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushings, as well as increasing the frequency of maintenance required for drivetrain and cooling system components. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the front end of the vehicle during a test drive to monitor the condition of the suspension arms flagged in the 2025 advisory. Listen for any dull knocks, clunks, or rhythmic thumping sounds when driving over uneven road surfaces or speed bumps, as these are common symptoms of worn suspension bushes or pins. Additionally, pay attention to the steering feel; any pulling to one side or a vague, wandering sensation through the steering wheel could indicate that the previously advised suspension wear has progressed. Beyond the suspension, the higher mileage necessitates a thorough inspection of the braking system and tyre tread depth. Given the usage rate, check for any signs of brake disc scoring or pedal judder under braking, which can occur more frequently with higher mileage. While the latest MOT shows no current defects, the history of suspension advisories suggests that the vehicle's mechanical components are subject to consistent stress from regular, high-frequency road use.
