2020 MG ZS Excite EV Electric · CA70 WUU

The vehicle cleared the MOT on 11 November 2025 at 61,278 miles, indicating it is presently road‑worthy, yet the failure recorded on 8 November 2025 for the same mileage highlights unresolved wear on brake discs, sub‑frame corrosion and brake‑efficiency shortfalls. The rapid remediation between the two tests suggests the owner addressed the most critical defects, but the recurrence of similar items points to a maintenance pattern that is neither improving nor deteriorating dramatically – it remains essentially stable but requires ongoing attention. Mileage has risen from 51,868 miles at the 28 December 2023 test to 56,899 miles on 12 November 2024, then to 61,251 miles at the 8 November 2025 failure and 61,278 miles at the subsequent pass. This equates to roughly 10,000 miles per year, a typical usage rate for a six‑year‑old MG ZS Excite EV, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps in the record. The data therefore presents a consistent accumulation of distance without evidence of unusually high mileage periods. A prospective buyer should give close scrutiny to the front brake disc for pitting or scoring, verify that the rear brake disc and inner pads have been replaced or are within acceptable thickness, and confirm that both service and parking brake efficiencies meet statutory limits. Visual inspection of the front sub‑frame and suspension arm for corrosion, as well as the condition of the front suspension arm bushings and rear bushings, is essential; any rust that appears to be more than superficial could affect structural integrity. Finally, the near‑side front tyre should be examined for cracking or perishing, and a full tyre tread check should be performed to ensure safe wear levels.
