Construction ply is used quite happily in all manner of situations which are far worse than a garage lining, without issues.

you need to leave a 2 or 3 mm gap between the sheets too not butt them tight,this allows for said movement and the same goes for ply.Marine grade ply is often used as another term for h3 treated ply.Untreated should be fine unless the bottom is going to get wet now and then

Here's a tip, when finished paint the lining white, it really makes a difference to the light levels. I have an insulated and lined 6x9m man-shed and the white walls and light grey painted floor means I only need 8 normal incandescant lamps to give adequate working light.
Losing that effect as I nail bike parts and girly posters to the walls though..

Someone's been watching too many episodes of changing rooms. Did you put some glitter on the MDF to class it up? Perhaps stick some cut out shapes on it and spray pain over them for create a silhouette?
Why the fuck anyone would line a garage anyway escapes me, covering all those ready built flush shelves (aka nogs).

Marine ply is not treated.

Oh, ffs...
My garage. My money. My fuck up. My business.
Besides, a lined garage just looks more finished.
parting of the sensory
Now that I think about it, the MDF will be fine.
My sister-in-law and her husband have got MDF lining their gargre, and it looks fine - quite smart in fact. All they've done is give it a coat of polyurethane.
It looks so good in fact that my wife's been on at me to line our gargre the same, but I've got a handy excuse to keep putting it off: the damned roof leaks. Plus there's so much junk stacked against the walls that I can't get at them. Need to put some of it on TardMe or summat first.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

You forgot "My lack of sense of humour".
More finished? Not without the glitter it isn't!

And it is warmer in the winter for working on those projects. Plus keeps the damp away from tools and bikes.
Damp things are not always good......

As long as it's sealed, it's fine. Probably a good idea to seal the back and edges before you put it up. Just remember - manufactured fibre boards (particle, customwood, non tempered hardboard) plus moisture (water, steam, high humidity) equals "oh fuck!" moment.
