MG ZS2001 · 2.5L PETROL

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently unsafe, as evidenced by the most recent test on 2015-05-29 which failed on 81,051 miles. This indicates that the vehicle has not undergone a full MOT cycle since 2015, suggesting a maintenance gap of approximately 10 years. The failure at this date, combined with the subsequent failures at 72,865 and 72,839 miles in 2013, confirms that the testing has not been completed or is not currently valid for this year. The mileage pattern reveals a significant acceleration between 2013 and 2015, with the vehicle accumulating nearly 10,000 miles in just two years. This rapid increase is inconsistent with typical usage patterns, as the mileage should have dropped to around 8,000 miles per year by 2015. The data shows a steady accumulation of 1,000 miles per year from 2013 to 2015, which is a pattern of rapid wear on consumables such as tyres, wiper blades, and brake components, rather than a gradual increase in total mileage. Given the recurring faults including brake pad wear, brake imbalance, and cooling system leaks, the mechanical condition is likely deteriorating. The buyer should inspect the suspension, brakes, and exhaust emissions in person, as the history suggests that these components require adjustment or repair. The vehicle has failed twice on tyre tread, indicating that basic upkeep was likely skipped, which further supports the need for a thorough inspection to rule out structural risks.
