2022 MG ZS Exclusive VTI-Tech 1.5L Petrol · EY22 OBO

The most recent MOT test conducted on 28 August 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Evaluating the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle shows a stable history. Although the March 2026 test highlighted two advisories regarding a tyre cut and brake disc condition, the clean pass in August suggests these issues were either addressed or were minor enough not to impact the vehicle's immediate roadworthiness. The lack of any recorded failures suggests a consistent level of compliance with DVSA standards over the recorded period. With 42,838 miles recorded over approximately four years, the vehicle has covered an average of 10,710 miles per annum. This usage profile is entirely typical for a modern passenger vehicle and indicates a balanced driving pattern. This mileage is low enough to suggest that major mechanical components such as the engine and gearbox should still be in good health, but high enough that you should expect to see moderate wear on consumables like brake pads, tyres, and suspension components. Because of the advisories noted in the March 2026 test, it is imperative to confirm whether the offside front tyre and nearside rear brake disc were replaced. During your test drive, pay close attention to the front offside corner for any unusual vibrations or rhythmic thumping, which could indicate a tyre with internal structural damage or uneven wear. Regarding the braking system, listen for any grinding or squealing from the nearside rear and feel for any pedal pulsation or shuddering under braking. If the disc was previously pitted or scored, it could lead to uneven pad wear or binding calipers, so ensure the vehicle stops smoothly and without excessive noise. Finally, perform a visual inspection of all tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, which can occur as rubber ages even if tread depth remains sufficient. Check the brake discs through the alloy wheels for excessive surface corrosion or heavy scoring. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, you should also verify the service book to ensure that time-based maintenance, such as brake fluid replacement and oil changes, has been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule to prevent fluid degradation and ensure optimal component longevity.
