2022 MG ZS Exclusive VTI-Tech 1.5L Petrol · HW72 JUX

The vehicle presents a stable mechanical profile based on its MOT history. The most recent test on 2025-09-01 at 13,609 miles passed cleanly with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the car met all roadworthiness standards at that point, with no immediate mechanical or structural concerns flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2022-registered vehicle. At 13,609 miles recorded in September 2025, the annual average sits around 3,400 miles per year, which is substantially below typical UK usage. The identical mileage of 13,609 recorded on both the failed test of 2025-08-29 and the subsequent pass on 2025-09-01 suggests the vehicle was likely retested without significant use between appointments. The failed test itself is somewhat unusual given no defects were recorded against it; this may indicate a procedural or emissions-related failure on the day rather than a mechanical fault, though the clean retest three days later confirms the issue was resolved or did not persist. Given the low mileage and short ownership period, the primary concern for a buyer should be verifying whether the vehicle has been standing for extended periods rather than assessing high-mileage wear. Inspect the tyres carefully for flat-spotting or perished rubber, as low-use vehicles often develop these issues before tread depth becomes a problem. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion, which can develop quickly on cars that sit unused, and examine the condition of rubber suspension bushes and exhaust components for deterioration from inactivity rather than wear. The clean pass with no advisories is reassuring, but a physical inspection remains prudent to confirm the car has not suffered from prolonged stationary storage.
