Our Verdict
This 2020 MG ZS Excite EV is a usable electric car with a clean MOT pass record, but its very high mileage for the age and recurring brake and tyre wear advisories warrant caution. Budget for imminent consumable replacements and verify battery health before purchase.
Given the 94,439 miles recorded in May 2026 versus just 18,022 in March 2023, this MG has averaged over 25,000 miles per year recently, so prioritise a documented service history confirming coolant, brake fluid, and cabin filter changes suited to high-mileage electric use. Negotiate on price to reflect the need for new rear brake pads and likely front tyres, as both were advised at the last two MOTs. As no aggregate reliability stats exist for the ZS Excite EV, rely on the individual MOT trail and a professional inspection of the battery state of health, which is not covered by MOT but critical for resale value.
As a zero-emission electricity-fuelled car, the MG ZS Excite EV sits in tax band A with £0 annual road tax and typically lower insurance groups than petrol equivalents, though exact group is unconfirmed. Home charging at current UK rates should cost roughly £10-£15 per full charge, and with 94,439 miles of use expect higher-than-average tyre and brake consumable spend due to the noted advisories. Estimated annual running cost including electricity, tax, insurance, and maintenance is around £900-£1,200, skewed upward by mileage and wear items.
The May 2026 MOT flagged rear inner brake pads wearing thin at 94,439 miles, repeating the same advisory from May 2025, so physically check pad thickness and the scored rear discs noted last year. Front tyres were worn on the edge at 57,151 miles in 2025 and should be measured for legal compliance now, alongside the wiper and windscreen damage advisories raised previously. Confirm the battery charges to expected range and shows no degradation warnings, and review the 2023 note about an offside rear child seat blocking belt inspection to ensure no underlying seatbelt fault was missed.
Registered in March 2020 as a blue electric MG ZS Excite EV (MF20DNN), the vehicle has covered 94,439 miles by its May 2026 MOT, which is well above typical usage for a six-year-old car. All four MOT tests from 2023 to 2026 passed with no failures, though advisories show consistent front tyre edge wear, rear brake disc scoring, and inner pad thinning. The lack of aggregate model reliability data means condition must be judged on this car's own history, which shows steady but heavy use as a high-mileage EV.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the MG ZS Excite EV, so this vehicle's condition must be assessed solely on its individual test history.
