Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the most rec
Given the higher-than-average mileage for this model, priority should be placed on verifying the battery's state of health via a diagnostic report. Ensure that the service history is complete and specifically check for the resolution of the 2025 seat belt failure.
Negotiate based on the tyre history; the vehicle has a documented tendency for tyre damage, so ensure the current set is of a premium brand and in good condition. Verify that the charging cables and port are in good working order, as these see more wear on high-mileage electric vehicles.
As an electric vehicle, fuel costs are significantly lower than petrol equivalents, though this depends on the owner's access to home charging. The vehicle currently benefits from the zero-rate EV road tax, and the ZS typically falls into a moderate insurance group.
Maintenance costs for the ZS EV are generally lower due to fewer moving parts, but the higher mileage on this specific car may mean suspension components or cabin filters require more frequent attention. Estimated annual running costs are relatively low compared to internal combustion engines.
Conduct a thorough inspection of all four tyres. The 2024 MOT recorded cuts in every tyre, and the 2025 test failed due to a nail and ply/cord damage; check for any remaining sidewall bulges or uneven wear. Test the central rear seat belt to ensure it functions correctly, as this was a specific failure point in July 2025.
Check the exterior paintwork, particularly around the wheel arches, for any signs of damage that might correlate with the recurring tyre issues. Inspect the charging port for any debris or wear and tear consistent with 66,846 miles of use.
This red 2020 MG ZS Exclusive EV has recorded 66,846 miles, which is notably above the model average. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre-related issues, including a 2024 pass with advisories for cuts on all four tyres and a 2025 failure involving a nail and ply damage. It most recently passed its July 2026 test with no defects recorded.
The MG ZS EV has an aggregate MOT pass rate of 88.1%, with tyres and seat belts identified as the most common failure points across the model range.
