2022 MG 5 Exclusive Electricity · YC22 BGU

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-04 shows the vehicle failed due to severe tyre defects : both the nearside and offside rear tyres had cuts deep enough to expose ply or cords, violating regulation 5.2.3 (d). This is a critical safety risk, as damaged tyres can lead to sudden failure. The same date also lists a pass entry, creating an inconsistency that requires clarification. A prior MOT on 2025-03-28 recorded less severe but recurring tyre issues : both rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit, with edge wear and cuts. This suggests a pattern of tyre degradation , likely due to high mileage or improper maintenance. The 2026 failure indicates a worsening trend , as the 2025 defects were minor but the 2026 issues are serious and unsafe. The vehicle has 55,198 miles at 4 years old, averaging 13,800 miles per year —a high rate for its age. This mileage could accelerate wear on tyres, brakes, and suspension. However, the MOT history lacks evidence of other major faults, such as suspension damage or brake issues, which might suggest the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme abuse beyond tyre wear. The high mileage alone does not definitively indicate heavy use or neglect, as some owners naturally accumulate more miles.
