2018 MG ZS 1.5L Petrol · SG68 AAK

The 2025-07-23 MOT at 45,379 miles passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record and no worsening condition. Earlier tests in 2024 and 2023 also showed clean results, confirming that the vehicle has not developed new faults since the 2021 repair. The mileage has risen from 28,028 miles in August 2021 to 45,379 miles by July 2025, an average of roughly 5,700 miles per year, which is low for an eight‑year‑old car and suggests limited use or periods of inactivity. The interval between the 2021 and 2023 tests spans 13 months, yet mileage increased by about 4,800 miles, and subsequent annual tests show steady growth without abrupt jumps. A buyer should therefore inspect the braking system for any residual binding in the rear and front calipers, examine the condition of the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and verify that the suspension bushes and coil springs are intact, as the 2021 failure highlighted excessive brake binding. The 2023 test noted under‑tray fitting, so a visual check for rust on the chassis, wheel arches and under‑tray areas is essential, along with an assessment of exhaust condition and structural integrity. Finally, check tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and confirm that any previous advisories have been fully rectified.
