Our Verdict
This 2019 MG ZS in white offers reasonab
When inspecting this 2019 MG ZS, review the documentary evidence alongside the physical car to confirm how past MOT items were resolved. Pay close attention to the service records to see if brake pads and tyres have been replaced in line with the advisories and failures noted in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
Negotiate on price if any upcoming maintenance items, such as brake wear or tyre replacement, appear imminent given the vehicle's mileage of 37,730 miles. Ensure all electrical functions, including the headlamps that previously required adjustment, operate correctly during a test drive.
Equipped with a 999.0cc petrol engine meeting Euro 6D standards, this MG ZS falls into a moderate insurance and tax bracket typical for compact crossovers. Fuel economy should align with standard expectations for a small-capacity turbocharged petrol engine, depending on driving habits and urban versus motorway usage.
Typical maintenance costs will include routine servicing, periodic tyre replacements (noting past wear on both front edges), and brake maintenance. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,200 to £1,500, covering fuel, road tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Inspect the braking system thoroughly, paying particular attention to the front brake pads, which were noted as wearing thin in October 2023 and failed an MOT in November 2024 at 29,938 miles for being less than 1.5mm thick. Check that the nearside headlamp aim, which also caused a test failure in November 2024, has been permanently corrected and aligns properly.
Examine the front tyres for edge wear, referencing the 2022 MOT test where both front tyres were recorded as worn close to the legal limit on their edges. Verify wheel alignment to prevent premature tyre wear, and inspect the white exterior paintwork and body panels for any signs of damage or uneven panel gaps.
First registered in October 2019 with a 999.0cc petrol engine and finished in white, this MG ZS has recorded 37,730 miles by late 2025. Its MOT history shows an initial fail in late 2024 for worn brake pads and a headlamp aim issue, alongside a minor tyre advisory in 2022 and a brake advisory in 2023, though the most recent test in October 2025 resulted in a clean pass.
Based on aggregate data from 19,742 vehicles analysed, the MG ZS achieves an average MOT pass rate of 83.8%, with headlamps, service brakes, and fluid leaks appearing among the top failure reasons.
