MG 4 SE (2022)
2022 MG 4 SE
CarHunch analysed 1,341 real MOT records for the 2022 MG 4 SE. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 MG 4 SE passes its MOT on the first attempt 86.2% of the time, outperforming the UK average of 80% — a solid result that suggests decent build quality and owner care. The dangerous defect rate of 2.7% is reassuringly low, so safety issues are uncommon in this cohort.
At just under 24,000 miles median, these cars are still relatively young and lightly used, which explains why failures average only 0.12 per vehicle — most are passing cleanly. The 0.9 advisories per car tell you that minor wear items like wiper blades or top-ups are appearing, but nothing alarming; when you're shopping, ask the seller for full service history to confirm scheduled maintenance has been done, and you'll likely have a trouble-free ownership experience.
What to check before buying a 2022 MG 4 SE
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
