The structure described by MgV3FeO8 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. Mg(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(4), one O(7), and one O(8) atom to form MgO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent V(2)O4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent V(3)O4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent Fe(1)O4 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), one O(7), and one O(8) atom to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Mg(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent V(3)O4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent Fe(1)O4 tetrahedra.

In the third V site, V(3) is bonded to one O(3), one O(4), one O(5), and one O(7) atom to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Mg(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent V(2)O4 tetrahedra. Fe(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(6), and one O(8) atom to form FeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Mg(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent V(1)O4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent V(2)O4 tetrahedra. There are eight inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one Fe(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Mg(1), one V(2), and one Fe(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one V(1) and one V(3) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Mg(1), one V(2), and one V(3) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V(2) and one V(3) atom. In the sixth O site, O(6) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V(2) and one Fe(1) atom. In the seventh O site, O(7) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Mg(1), one V(1), and one V(3) atom. In the eighth O site, O(8) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Mg(1), one V(1), and one Fe(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
