2022 MG ZS Exclusive VTI-Tech 1.5L Petrol · K333 SPX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-05-26 confirmed it passed with a minor front oil leak, though not excessive, and no other critical failures. This follows a 2026-05-21 failure for the same oil leak and tyre aspect ratio discrepancies, indicating a persistent issue with the front oil seal. Despite the recent pass, the recurring oil leak suggests potential ongoing maintenance needs, though no structural or safety-critical faults were recorded. The trend shows stability in major systems but highlights a need for inspection of the engine’s sealing components. The mileage of 27,253 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 6,813 miles, typical for a four-year-old vehicle. The MOT records span 10 months between 2025-07-28 and 2026-05-26, with consistent mileage increments. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, implying regular use and maintenance. However, the repeated oil leak and tyre-related advisories from 2025 suggest the vehicle may have experienced intermittent care, particularly in addressing fluid leaks and tyre condition. Key areas for in-person inspection include the front oil seal’s integrity, rear brake discs for further wear given prior pitting, and the nearside rear tyre’s cut. The presence of a child seat obstructing belt inspection in 2025 raises concerns about the rear seat belt’s functionality. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for wear, as oil leaks can accelerate degradation. Exhaust emissions and corrosion should also be verified, as the oil leak may impact engine performance or environmental compliance.
