2018 MG ZS 1.5L Petrol · M60 KDS

The MG ZS presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 16 April 2025 at 20,589 miles which recorded no defects. The prior failure on 14 April 2025 at 20,575 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle passed two days later without rectification. Across the 2022 to 2025 records, every test returned a pass with no advisories, showing no worsening or recurring mechanical concerns. The odometer shows 20,589 miles against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 2,574 miles per year. The record charts a steady climb: 12,677 miles on 30 March 2022, 15,033 on 29 March 2023, 17,655 on 9 April 2024, and 20,575 by 14 April 2025. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear. Such low, consistent use suggests light motoring, though prolonged standing between short trips can age tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes without high mileage wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the brake calipers and discs for binding or corrosion from disuse, and check the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing rubber. The exhaust emissions and structural integrity beneath the sills warrant a visual check for surface rust, given the car's low annual movement. The clean MOT history offers no flagged faults, but the 2025 failure with zero defects demands confirmation the V5C and test certificate match the correct vehicle and station entry.
