2020 MG ZS Exclusive VTI-Tech 1.5L Petrol · CV70 AVG

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following the June 2026 test at 34,428 miles, though the maintenance trend shows signs of emerging wear rather than total stability. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the tester flagged a worn rear brake disc and a slightly deteriorated suspension arm bush. These advisories follow a period of clean results in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that the vehicle is now entering a phase where consumable components and rubber bushings are beginning to reach the end of their service life. The mileage profile indicates a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year over its six-year lifespan. The record shows steady progression from 20,847 miles in August 2023 to 34,428 miles in June 2026. This relatively low annual mileage often correlates with less mechanical strain on the drivetrain, but the July 2025 test at 28,877 miles highlighted a significant need for tyre replacement across three corners, indicating that even with low mileage, the rubber is reaching its legal limit or showing uneven wear patterns. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and front-end suspension. The history shows recurring issues with brake discs, specifically a failure in August 2023 due to significantly worn rear discs and fluctuating service brakes, followed by pitted front discs in July 2025, and finally worn rear discs in June 2026. This pattern suggests that while the discs are being replaced or monitored, the braking components are a primary area of wear. The tester also noted a worn suspension arm bush in the latest test, which warrants a check for play or noise during a test drive. Beyond the brakes, the uneven tyre wear noted in the 2025 inspection suggests a potential need to check wheel alignment or tracking. Although the 2024 test recorded no defects, the subsequent emergence of multiple advisories regarding tyres, discs, and bushes indicates that the vehicle's maintenance requirements are increasing as it ages. Ensuring the recent suspension and brake advisories have been addressed with actual parts replacement rather than just being noted as pass-level wear is essential.
