2022 MG ZS SE EV Electricity · SH72 HDK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 30 October 2025 at 8,519 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent period of neglect involving a failure just two days prior to that pass. While the car now meets the minimum legal standards, the presence of immediate mechanical failures indicates that critical components were allowed to deteriorate before the owner addressed them for the re-test. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,130 miles per year. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical stressing, which typically reduces wear on the electric drivetrain and suspension. Conversely, low-mileage cars can suffer from issues such as flat spotting or degradation of rubber components if they remain stationary for extended periods. The failure of a suspension arm bush at just 8,519 miles is unusual and suggests either a manufacturing defect or a significant impact from hitting a curb. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the offside front suspension to ensure the lower arm pin and bush were replaced correctly rather than merely adjusted. The report of exposed cords on the offside front tyre indicates a severe safety risk that likely resulted from poor alignment settings or a sharp impact. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequently used brakes often develop heavy rust that causes uneven pad wear.
