2018 MG ZS 1.5L Petrol · CP68 GZB

The most recent MOT from May 2026 shows a sudden shift in the vehicle's condition, moving from three years of clean certificates to a list of several mechanical issues. This represents a worsening trend in the car's recorded maintenance history. The main risks involve the braking system and suspension components. The inspection noted thin front brake pads, pitted and scored front discs, and a binding nearside rear brake. There is also evidence of corrosion on the offside front suspension arm and cracking or perishing on the rear tyres. At approximately 4,689 miles per year, the mileage is low for an eight-year-old vehicle. While this suggests less general wear, the specific issues like perishing tyres and pitted discs often point toward a pattern of under-use or long periods of standing. This can lead to rubber degradation and surface corrosion that regular driving might otherwise prevent. Before purchasing, you should personally inspect the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking, verify that the braking issues have been fully rectified, and check the suspension components for further signs of corrosion.
