2021 MG ZS Excite EV Electric · AO71 CMK

The 2025‑09‑19 MOT at 32,242 miles passed with only a damaged off‑side front mirror (3.3(b)(i)) and a nail in the off‑side rear tyre classified as acceptable, indicating the vehicle is presently roadworthy; the earlier 2025‑09‑18 failure, which included a serious tyre cut reaching the ply, headlamp failures on both dipped and main beams, and the same mirror defect, shows that previous issues have been addressed, suggesting an improving maintenance trend. The 2021‑registered MG ZS EXCITE EV has covered 32,242 miles in roughly five years, averaging 6,448 miles per year, which is typical for its age; however, the interval between the 2024‑09‑20 test at 21,029 miles and the 2025‑09‑18 test at 32,197 miles represents an 11‑month period during which mileage surged by 11,168 miles, indicating a phase of heavy use, and the subsequent 15‑month gap added only 45 miles, confirming recent, limited activity. A buyer should therefore inspect the off‑side front mirror mounting and glass for cracks or mis‑alignment, examine the rear tyre for hidden damage beyond the nail, verify the headlamp units for water ingress or electrical faults, and assess the suspension bushes, coil springs and brake components for wear or binding, as the earlier tyre cut suggests possible impact damage that may affect surrounding mechanical parts, while also checking for structural rust, exhaust condition and overall drivetrain health.
