2020 MG ZS Exclusive EV Electricity · CK20 HGO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with a recent MOT pass on 2026-05-27 at 48,520 miles. The most recent test revealed only one advisory—slight damage or perishing on the nearside rear tyre—which aligns with a recurring issue seen in prior tests. This indicates a consistent pattern of tyre degradation, particularly on the rear wheels, suggesting potential long-term exposure to uneven wear, alignment issues, or inadequate rotation practices. There has been no significant deterioration in structural integrity, braking performance, or suspension components across the last four tests, and all critical systems passed without failure, reflecting stable maintenance. The mileage progression shows a steady increase of approximately 8,000 to 9,000 miles per year, consistent with typical usage for a six-year-old vehicle. From 20,280 miles in May 2023 to 48,520 miles in May 2026, the accumulation is linear and predictable, with no extended gaps between tests. The absence of major mechanical failures or repeated advisories beyond tyres suggests regular use and consistent servicing, though the lack of any full inspection due to child seat fittings in multiple tests raises concern about ongoing neglect of routine checks on the adult seat belts and rear registration plate condition. A buyer should conduct an in-person inspection of the rear tyres, especially the nearside and offside rear, given the repeated findings of cracking or perishing. The front tyres also showed edge wear nearing legal limits in 2025, indicating possible alignment or suspension misalignment that may have persisted. The persistent obstruction from child seats during inspections implies that the vehicle may not be routinely prepared for full safety checks, which could mask underlying issues with seat belt mechanisms or rear bodywork. Additionally, the deteriorated rear registration plate in 2025 warrants checking for corrosion or warping that might affect visibility. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers should be examined for binding or wear, as these are common failure points in EVs with similar mileage and usage patterns.
