MG ZS EXCITE VTI-TECH2021 · 1.5L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 May 2026 at 17,884 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met standards over the last three years. While the latest test identified a minor issue with a nail in the nearside rear tyre centre tread, this represents a common consumable fault rather than an indication of mechanical or structural failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,577 miles per year. Between the May 2024 test at 10,100 miles and the May 2025 test at 14,246 miles, the car covered 3,146 miles. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has been used for short trips or kept for long periods. However, low-mileage vehicles of this age can sometimes suffer from brake corrosion or flat-spotted rubber components if they have sat stationary for extended durations between drives. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyre condition, as the May 2025 test flagged a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This specific wear often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require adjustment. Given the low annual mileage, it is also prudent to check the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the calipers are not seizing due to infrequent use. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures, suggesting the chassis remains in good condition.
