2023 MG ZS Trophy EV Electric · LA23 JFN

A high-mileage usage pattern defines this vehicle's history, though it has maintained a consistent record of roadworthiness, including a pass on 22 May 2026. The absence of previous failures suggests a stable mechanical trajectory, with the only current point of concern being a single advisory related to the front suspension. With 41,420 miles recorded over approximately three years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 13,807 miles per annum. This elevated rate of use implies a higher degree of wear on chassis components and consumables than is typical for a 2023 model, placing greater demand on the suspension geometry and braking system. The recorded oil misting on the nearside front upper shock absorber requires specific scrutiny. While currently an advisory, this indicates a compromise in the damper seal. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for abnormal knocking sounds over speed bumps or potholes and feel for any instability or excessive oscillation in the front end when decelerating. Given the high mileage, a thorough physical inspection of the brake disc thickness and tyre tread depth is essential to determine the remaining life of these consumables. Particular attention should be paid to the front tyres to ensure there is no uneven wear, as this can be a secondary symptom of the failing shock absorber identified in the MOT record.
