2021 MG ZS Exclusive EV Electricity · HN71 KXY

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward minor component wear. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 69,179 miles resulted in advisories for both the nearside and offside rear brake discs being pitted or scored. While these did not result in a failure, they indicate that the braking hardware is reaching the end of its effective life compared to the clean record seen in October 2024. The mileage accumulation is significant for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 64,461 miles and the October 2025 test, the vehicle covered 4,718 miles in just twelve months. This consistent usage suggests regular high-frequency operation which places accelerated pressure on consumable components and suspension assemblies, explaining the appearance of surface corrosion on the rear brake discs noted in the latest inspection. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear braking system to determine if the pitting and scoring have compromised the disc thickness or require immediate replacement. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is also necessary to identify signs of premature wear that may not yet have triggered an MOT advisory. The rear dog cover across the seat belts should also be verified, as the tester explicitly noted this area was not tested during the most recent inspection.
