2021 MG ZS Excite VTI-Tech 1.5L Petrol · ND71 KPY

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy state following a clean pass on July 22, 2026, 38,272 miles. This result indicates a significant improvement in maintenance status compared to the major failure in late 2024. The most recent test shows no recorded defects or advisories, suggesting that the mechanical issues identified previously were addressed and the vehicle is currently operating within regulatory standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-mileage usage, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between the October 2024 test at 26,332 miles and the July 2025 test at 30,028 miles, representing roughly 4,000 miles driven over nine months. The low overall mileage for a five-year-old vehicle generally limits wear on the drivetrain and chassis, though the history highlights specific component fatigue. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension components. The October 2024 failure revealed comprehensive wear and pitting across all four brake discs and pads, alongside binding rear brakes and fluctuating front brakes. While these appear resolved, the buyer should verify the condition of the current rotors and check for any residual judder during braking. Additionally, the recorded serious fluid leak on the nearside rear shock absorber in 2024 necessitates a visual check to ensure the component was replaced and that no further leaks have developed on the suspension assembly.
