2020 MG ZS Exclusive EV Electricity · BA69 NBY

The vehicle presents a worsening trend in brake component wear, despite passing its most recent MOT in January 2026. While the car remains roadworthy, the frequency and scope of advisories regarding the braking system have increased significantly over the last two years. The January 2026 test at 29,053 miles flagged pitting and scoring on all four brake discs alongside thinning rear brake pads. This represents an escalation from the January 2025 test at 27,132 miles, which only noted issues with the rear discs, pads, and tyre perishing. The mileage profile indicates light usage, averaging approximately 4,842 miles per year since the vehicle was new. The recorded progression from 21,708 miles in January 2023 to 29,053 miles in January 2026 shows a consistent, low-intensity driving pattern. This low annual mileage often correlates with less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, but the MOT history suggests that infrequent use may be contributing to the surface corrosion and pitting observed on the brake discs. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system. The recurring advisories for pitted and scored discs across all four corners suggest that the brake components are reaching the end of their service life and likely require replacement. The tester also noted tyre cracking and perishing in the 2025 test, so the condition of the rubber sidewalls and tread depth should be verified to ensure the low mileage has not led to age-related degradation of the tyres. Beyond the brakes and tyres, the vehicle's history appears mechanically stable with no recorded issues regarding suspension, steering, or structural integrity. The absence of defects in the 2023 and 2024 tests provides a baseline of good maintenance, but the recent shift toward consumable wear means the immediate budget should account for a brake overhaul.
