2018 MG ZS 1.5L Petrol · EX68 FNG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent testing history. While the most recent test on 3 November 2025 at 63,896 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure on the same day, the lack of recorded defects on either entry suggests a minor issue was rectified immediately before the retest. Since 2022, the car has consistently passed without advisories or failures, indicating that the vehicle has maintained its mechanical and structural integrity over the last three years. The mileage pattern is consistent with expectations for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. The data shows steady growth from 15,295 miles in November 2022 to 45,529 miles in November 2024. A more significant increase of 18,367 miles occurred between the 2024 and 2025 tests, suggesting a period of higher usage compared to previous years. This rate of travel remains within a typical range and prevents the premature degradation of rubber components often associated with long periods of standing. Given the clean record of recorded advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on standard wear items that the MOT does not always capture. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of tearing or cracking, as consistent mileage increases can accelerate wear on these components. Check the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning, noting that the record does not flag any binding calipers. While the structural integrity shows no history of corrosion, a visual check of the underbody for surface rust remains standard practice for a vehicle of this age.
