2020 MG ZS Excite VTI-Tech 1.5L Petrol · HX70 YBY

The vehicle presents a stable mechanical trajectory, culminating in a clean pass on 2025-10-17 at 59,257 miles with only a minor advisory regarding fitted covers. The maintenance trend is improving. A headlamp aim and levelling device defect flagged during the failed test on 2024-10-11 at 49,755 miles was promptly rectified, as evidenced by the pass five days later on 2024-10-16. Tyre wear and damage issues noted in September 2023 also appear resolved, with no recurring tyre defects recorded in subsequent tests. The tester flagged no structural or mechanical risks in the most recent examination. Accumulating 59,257 miles over six years yields an average of roughly 9,876 miles per year, a typical figure for this age. The mileage progression shows a distinct gap between September 2023 at 38,497 miles and October 2024 at 49,755 miles, representing 11,258 miles covered in just over a year. This suggests a shift from lighter use or a period of standing to more regular commuting. The most recent test on 2025-10-17 recorded the 59,257-mile figure, indicating the vehicle has covered minimal distance since that exact date. Despite the clean recent record, a buyer should inspect the tyres closely. The tester flagged a cut reaching the ply and edge wear back in September 2023, suggesting previous owners neglected basic wheel alignment or timely replacements. Check the inner sidewalls and tread edges for uneven wear patterns that might indicate ongoing suspension deflection or misalignment. Examine the headlamp lenses for moisture ingress or damage, given the previous levelling device failure and aim deficiency. Underneath, inspect the subframe and suspension mounting points for corrosion, a common issue for vehicles of this age, and assess the brake discs and calipers for any signs of binding or uneven pad wear that might not yet trigger a test failure.
