2004 MG ZS 2.5L Other · KNZ 9367

The 2023‑01‑12 MOT at 111,985 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy as of that date. The absence of recorded failures in the preceding 2022‑12‑13 and 2021‑10‑16 tests indicates a stable maintenance trend, with no evidence of recurring faults worsening over time. At 22 years old and 111,985 recorded miles, the car averages roughly 5,090 miles per year, a figure that is low for its age and suggests light use or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage accumulation was modest between 2021‑10‑16 (106,645 miles) and 2022‑12‑13 (111,905 miles), a gain of about 5,260 miles over 14 months, followed by a negligible increase to the January 2023 test, indicating consistent, low‑intensity usage. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or excessive wear, and check the chassis and body for structural rust or corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and underbody. The exhaust system should also be assessed for rust-through or loose mounting, and tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition merit verification despite the clean MOT record. Given the vehicle’s age, mileage, and the lack of documented defects, the primary concerns are potential long‑term corrosion and component fatigue rather than immediate mechanical failure; a thorough physical inspection is essential to confirm the MOT’s findings and to identify any hidden wear that could affect durability.
