YP54 ODX MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
20 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Mg Tf (YP54 ODX) between January 2008 and April 2019.
The record contains 12 passes and 8 failures.
The most recent test on 05 April 2019 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (19 issues), Lighting (13 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Steering (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 23 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c)”; “Offside Rear Upper Suspension arm has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)”; “Offside Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”.
Common Problems: MG TF
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Head Gasket Failure(Serious)
Like the ZR, the TF uses the K-Series engine. The mid-engine layout makes cooling even more critical.
- Subframe and Sill Rust(Serious)
The front and rear subframes, sills, and rear wheel arches are highly prone to rust. Pre-2007 Chinese-built cars are generally better protected, but all TFs need careful inspection underneath.
- Electrical Gremlins(Moderate)
Electric windows and central locking can play up. The roof wiring loom for heated rear screens often frays and breaks over time due to repeated folding.
