2020 MG ZS Excite VTI-Tech 1.5L Petrol · CU70 OPJ

The MG ZS presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 41,331 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The only anomaly appears on 29 August 2023, when the vehicle failed and then passed on the same day at 20,627 miles with no defects listed on either entry, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at a modest 6,888 miles against the car's six-year life, with the odometer reading 41,331 miles today. The record shows steady accumulation: 20,627 miles in August 2023, 31,624 miles by August 2024, and 41,331 miles by October 2025. No rapid jumps or unexplained gaps exist between tests. The clean pass history across all dated entries suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumable and statutory checks in order. Given the absence of any advisories for brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the MOT data reveals no recurring wear trends requiring concern. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition, as MOT passes at lower mileages can miss early surface rust or degraded rubber mounts not yet at failure threshold. The same-day fail and pass on 29 August 2023 warrants a glance at the DVSA failure reason code if available, though no defects were logged. Otherwise, the documentary history supports a low-risk purchase from a maintenance standpoint, subject to standard pre-sale mechanical verification.
