2022 MG ZS Trophy EV Electricity · T7 WGB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 19, 2026, but the maintenance trend shows a recent period of reactive repair necessitated by a significant failure just eight days prior. While the most recent test indicates the car meets standards, the failure at 14,540 miles revealed multiple mechanical deficiencies that were addressed simultaneously. This suggests that the vehicle was only serviced when forced by an MOT failure rather than through a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,646 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the gap between the May 2025 and May 2026 tests, where the car covered only 1,104 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and brake surfaces, as evidenced by the perished sidewalls on all four tyres and pitting on the brake discs despite the low distance driven. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the rear suspension, as both the nearside and offside coil springs fractured during the May 2026 test. The recurring reports of pitting and scoring on the rear brake discs across both 2025 and 2026 suggest the vehicle may sit stationary for long periods or be driven in environments where moisture causes rapid corrosion on uncleaned metal surfaces. Verify that the brake imbalance across the front axle has been rectified and check that the tyre pressure monitoring system is now functional, as this was a recorded failure point in the recent test.
