2020 MG ZS 1.0L Petrol · CV20 AHC

The MG ZS presents as roadworthy following its most recent examination. The March 2026 test at 25,941 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history is stable with no recurring mechanical faults or advisories. Two earlier failures occurred at the February 2024 and February 2026 tests, yet both were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than outstanding roadworthiness defects. The odometer shows restrained use for a six-year-old vehicle. Annual mileage averages around 4,324 miles, with the record moving from 17,967 miles at the February 2024 failure to 20,729 miles by February 2025, then 25,820 miles by the February 2026 failure. The car gained roughly 7,800 miles across the final two years, a mild rise from prior periods but still low overall. Sparse test entries and clean defect sheets limit deeper wear analysis, though the low totals suggest light commuting rather than harsh duty. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. The two failure entries with zero defects point to possible data-recording anomalies, so verify the V5C and test certificates match the DVSA timeline. With standing time likely between uses given the low mileage, check suspension bushes, brake calipers, and underbody corrosion for moisture-related degradation. Examine tyre sidewalls and brake disc condition for age cracking or surface pitting from disuse.
