2021 MG ZS Exclusive T-GDI Auto 1.0L Petrol · AD07 NWA

The MG ZS failed its most recent MOT on 20 April 2026 at 70,967 miles, leaving its current roadworthiness unconfirmed by a pass. The maintenance trend cannot be called stable, worsening, or improving on evidence, as the three tests on record show two passes with no defects and one failure with no defects logged. A failure with no recorded defects suggests an administrative or unclassified issue at the test centre rather than a clear mechanical fault, but the buyer must obtain the pass certificate before relying on the vehicle. Mileage rose from 33,107 at the April 2024 test to 52,740 by April 2025, then to 70,967 by April 2026. That equates to roughly 19,600 miles in the last year, well above the lifetime average of 14,193. The car is five years old with nearly 71,000 miles, indicating sustained high-use motoring. The DVSA record itself is sparse, with no advisories or defects across any entry, so the data gives no warning of worn consumables or structural concern. Given the clean history and the unexplained 2026 failure, a buyer should confirm the exact reason for that failure with the testing station and view the rectification evidence. In person, inspect brake discs, suspension bushes, and coil springs for wear consistent with high annual mileage. Check underneath for corrosion and examine exhaust emissions against expected levels for a 2021 turbo petrol auto. Verify the tyres, wiper blades, and binding calipers show no hidden fatigue missed by the sparse record.
