2017 MG 3 1.5L Petrol · WU67 PXM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 75,165 miles passed, the tester identified signs of a coolant leak from the radiator. This marks a departure from the clean records of 2023 and 2025, suggesting that cooling system components are beginning to fail due to age and mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,350 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 48,404 miles in May 2023 to 67,772 miles in May 2025, followed by another 7,393 miles covered by May 2026. This moderate usage suggests the car has not been neglected, but the gap between the 2024 failure indicates that basic wear items were ignored until they reached the MOT test interval. A buyer must inspect the front braking system closely, as the May 2024 failure for excessively fluctuating nearside and offside front service brakes indicates thin or warped discs. The previous failure on three tyres showing uneven wear on edges also suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes, which should be verified during a test drive. The radiator leak noted in the 2026 record requires an immediate pressure test to determine if the leak is minor or involves the failing water pump or hoses.
