2020 MG ZS Exclusive EV Electricity · R8 TBY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, as confirmed by the most recent MOT on 2026-02-18 at 26,454 miles, which passed with only a minor advisory regarding the offside front tyre showing signs of perishing or cracking. This is the first defect recorded in over a year, following two consecutive clean MOTs in 2025 and 2023, indicating consistent mechanical reliability. The absence of any safety-critical failures or structural issues across the full history suggests that the vehicle has been well cared for, with no evidence of recurring or escalating faults. The mileage profile reflects light usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,409 miles annually. This low annual mileage is supported by the gap between the 2024-08-01 test (22,708 miles) and the 2025-02-25 test (27,797 miles), where just under 5,100 miles were logged in seven months—a significant increase compared to the average. This spike may indicate either a period of intensive use or a delay in testing, but it does not appear to have resulted in mechanical degradation, as the subsequent tests remained defect-free until the current advisory. The overall pattern shows steady, low-mileage operation with no abrupt wear indicators. Given the history, a prospective buyer should conduct a thorough visual inspection of both front tyres, particularly the offside front, to assess the extent of the perishing noted in February 2026. The prior cut on the nearside front tyre from August 2024, though not critical at the time, warrants checking for further damage or weakening. Additionally, the suspension components—especially the front control arms and bushes—should be examined, as repeated tyre issues can sometimes stem from misalignment or worn suspension parts. No structural corrosion or frame defects were flagged, but a full underbody check is recommended to confirm integrity, especially around the battery mounting points and chassis rails.
