2019 MG ZS 1.5L Petrol · CU19 SNX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of neglected brake components. While it passed the test in April 2026 at 56,895 miles, this followed a failure just five days prior at 56,892 miles. The tester identified thin pads across all four wheels and worn, pitted discs, along with a binding offside rear caliper. This pattern suggests that the previous owner only addressed the minimum requirements necessary to pass the MOT test rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase of roughly 9,000 miles between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 12,000 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This regular usage indicates the car does not sit for long periods, yet the rapid accumulation of mileage in the final year correlates with the accelerated wear seen on the braking system and the tyres noted in the most recent advisories. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the binding issue has been fully rectified and not merely masked. The 2026 test also flagged a minor leak in the front exhaust flexi, which requires monitoring or immediate replacement to prevent further degradation or future emission failures. Additionally, the recurring reports of tyres worn on the edges in 2023 and 2025 suggest a potential issue with the wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes that may be causing premature tyre scrub.
