Our Verdict
Recommended with caution due to recent tyre and brake issues, but overall solid EV with clean MOT history except for 2025 defects.
Prioritise checking the nearside and offside front tyres for uneven wear, and inspect the offside rear brake disc and pad condition. Verify service history for brake maintenance and tyre replacements. Negotiate price due to recent MOT defects, but consider the vehicle's EV benefits. Look for any unreported faults in the battery, charging system, or interior electronics.
Electric vehicles like the MG ZS EXCLUSIVE EV have minimal fuel costs (estimated £300-£500 annually for 65k miles). Zero road tax and potential company car tax advantages. Insurance group likely mid-range (check specifics). Maintenance costs may be lower than petrol equivalents, but brake and tyre replacements could add £200-£400 annually. Estimated total annual running cost: £800-£1,000.
Focus on the 2025 MOT-reported issues: tyres worn on edges/inner surfaces (check for alignment problems), and brake disc/pad wear (inspect for uneven braking or noise). Examine the battery pack for swelling or corrosion, and test charging port functionality. Check for water leaks or corrosion around the underbody, common in EVs. Review service records for brake fluid changes and tyre rotations.
This 2020 MG ZS EXCLUSIVE EV has a mixed MOT record, with two clean passes and a 2025 test showing minor tyre and brake wear. At 65,536 miles, the mileage is slightly above average for its age, though no model-specific reliability data is available. As an electric vehicle, it benefits from low tax and potential running cost savings.
No aggregate MOT data available for the MG ZS EXCLUSIVE EV, making it difficult to assess broader reliability trends.
