2022 MG ZS Exclusive VTI-Tech 1.5L Petrol · LG22 FVW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 31 July 2025 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a resolving pattern following a specific failure just one day prior. While the July 2025 test at 32,406 miles identified significant suspension issues, the immediate pass indicates that the owner acted promptly to rectify the necessary mechanical faults to meet safety standards. The mileage profile is consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. Between the August 2024 test at 19,795 miles and the July 2025 test at 32,406 miles, the car covered 12,611 miles. This period of higher usage compared to the annual average may have accelerated wear on rubber components and steering linkages, which likely explains the premature failure of the ball joints noted during the most recent inspection. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The failure in late July 2025 flagged an excessively worn nearside front arm ball joint and slight play in the offside equivalent. Although these were repaired, a technician should verify that the new components are torqued correctly and that the alignment has been adjusted to prevent uneven tyre wear. Checking for signs of grease leaking from boots or torn bushings is also advisable to ensure the previous failure was not indicative of wider degradation across the front assembly.
