Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a re
When viewing this MG ZS, pay close attention to the braking system. The 2025 MOT specifically flagged that the front brake discs were pitted or scored and the pads were wearing thin. Ensure these have been replaced or that there is evidence of recent work to address these advisories.
Ask the seller for confirmation of any service history, as the MOT records only show the results of inspections rather than the regularity of maintenance. Because this is a 1.5L petrol model, check that the service intervals have been strictly followed to maintain the engine's performance.
As a 1.5L petrol engine, running costs are generally predictable for a small SUV. You should expect moderate fuel economy suitable for mixed driving, and being Euro 6D compliant, it is exempt from most current low-emission zone charges in UK cities.
Insurance groups for the ZS Excite typically fall in the mid-range, and maintenance costs should be standard for a non-premium brand. Budget for regular consumable replacements, particularly brakes, which have already appeared as an advisory on this specific vehicle.
The primary focus during an inspection should be the front braking components. Since the November 2025 MOT recorded worn, pitted, or scored front brake discs and thin pads, you should visually inspect the discs for any signs of heavy scoring or uneven wear.
Additionally, check the tyre condition. While no specific tyre defects were noted in the recent history, tyres are a top failure reason for this model aggregate, so ensure they have sufficient tread depth and no sidewall damage. Finally, check the overall exterior condition of the blue paintwork for any signs of stone chips or scratches common to crossover vehicles.
This 2021 MG ZS Excite VTi-Tech in Blue has covered 19,889 miles, which is below the model's average annual mileage of 8,142. The MOT history is sparse but shows a clean pass in 2024 and a pass in 2025 that included advisories for front brake discs and pads. Given its age and mileage, it represents a modern Euro 6D compliant petrol option.
Aggregate data from over 10,000 vehicles shows an 86.7% MOT pass rate, with brake-related issues being a frequent reason for failure.
