2019 MG ZS 1.0L Petrol · LC69 VNE

The June 10 2026 MOT at 40,895 miles recorded a pass, showing that the vehicle was deemed roadworthy at that time, yet the same test flagged a binding rear service brake and a worn, pitted rear disc, indicating that the underlying mechanical issues have not been fully resolved and the maintenance trend shows recurring faults rather than steady improvement. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 40,895 equates to roughly 5,842 miles per year, a figure that is low for the model’s age and suggests periods of limited use; however, the interval between the October 2023 test at 28,701 miles and the March 2026 test at 40,886 miles reveals an acceleration to an average of about 12,200 miles per year in the most recent 2.5‑year span, implying increased activity that may have contributed to the recent brake and exhaust wear. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear brake assembly for disc scoring, test the rear service brake for binding, and verify that the exhaust system has been retested and meets emission limits, while also checking the offside rear door operation, TPMS warning light, suspension bushes, coil springs, and any signs of structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis, as these components have repeatedly appeared on the record and represent the most likely sources of future failure.
