The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 100% petrol. Petrol Mgfs in the data are mostly from years that are unlikely to comply.

Buying a used MG Mgf for London: what the MOT data shows
The MG Mgfs in this data were first registered between 1995 and 2002. 2001 was the most common year, with 1,803 tests (29% of the total), and half were registered in 1999 or later.
Almost every Mgf in the data is from a year likely to comply, so age and condition matter more than ULEZ when choosing one. The newest (2002) passed first time 65% of the time at 64,999 miles on average, and the oldest (1995) passed 47% at 70,335 miles.
Whichever year you choose, check the Mgf's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were brakes: "efficiency below requirements" (7.0% of tests); lights and electrics: "not working" (5.8%); noise, emissions and leaks: "carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits" (4.2%). The most frequent advisory was "in such a condition that it is seriously weakened", on 13.1% of tests.
Overall, 66% of Mgfs passed first time, noticeably below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 65,538 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
