2020 MG 3 1.5L Petrol · YN70 XAS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in August 2025. The maintenance trend shows a recent dip in standards evidenced by a failure just two days before the latest pass. While the failure on 4 August 2025 at 27,160 miles indicated specific electrical and fluid issues, the immediate re-test on 6 August at the same mileage suggests the owner addressed these faults promptly to maintain legal road standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per annum. There is a gap of 6,129 miles between the July 2023 test at 21,032 miles and the August 2025 test, which indicates consistent but low-intensity use. This low mileage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or brake disc corrosion if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A physical inspection should verify that the engine management indicator light is now functioning correctly, as the previous failure for an inoperative MIL is a critical fault. Given the low mileage, the buyer should specifically check the condition of the brake discs for surface pitting, which often occurs on cars driven infrequently. The front windscreen washer system and the offside rear stop lamp should also be tested to ensure the repairs made after the 2025 failure were thorough and not merely temporary fixes.
