2022 MG HS Excite Phev Auto 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · YG72 DDU

The MG HS presents a clean bill of health on its most recent MOT, passing on 29 August 2025 at 51,007 miles with zero defects recorded. This single-entry record makes it impossible to establish a trend of improvement or deterioration, but the absence of any advisories or failures at that test is a positive indicator of baseline roadworthiness. The maintenance picture is stable, though limited by sparse data. At roughly four years old, the vehicle has accumulated 51,007 miles, averaging approximately 12,752 miles per year. That sits at the higher end of typical annual usage, which accelerates wear on consumable components such as brake discs and pads, tyres, suspension bushes, and drivetrain mounts. The MOT record shows only one test entry, dated 29 August 2025, with no prior history available for comparison. There is no evidence of mileage gaps or irregular accumulation patterns, but the lack of earlier records means a buyer cannot verify whether the car was maintained consistently during its first years of ownership. With no recurring faults or structural concerns flagged in the available record, the primary risk areas for a physical inspection stem from the mileage profile rather than documented defects. A buyer should focus on checking the condition of the front and rear brake discs and pads for uneven wear or lipping, inspecting the suspension for worn drop links, anti-roll bar bushes, and coil spring seating, and examining the underside for corrosion on subframes, brake lines, and exhaust mounting points. The PHEV system's high-voltage battery health and charging port condition warrant attention, as does the condition of the hybrid-specific cooling system. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition should be verified across all four corners, given the additional weight of the plug-in hybrid drivetrain and the annual mileage involved. A road test under both electric-only and combined powertrain modes will reveal any drivetrain vibrations, transmission hesitation, or regenerative braking irregularities that a static inspection cannot detect. The clean MOT result is encouraging, but the high annual mileage demands a thorough mechanical examination before purchase.
