2022 MG ZS Excite VTI-Tech 1.5L Petrol · SL22 KYZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a decline in proactive maintenance. While the car passed its MOT on 26 May 2026 at 53,254 miles, it failed earlier that same day due to multiple defects. The transition from a clean record in the previous year to a failure now suggests that the owner may be only addressing issues when legally mandated, rather than performing regular preventative maintenance. At 53,254 miles over four years, this MG has covered a higher than average distance, averaging approximately 13,300 miles per annum. Between the April 2025 test at 44,074 miles and the May 2026 test, the vehicle covered 9,180 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation puts significant strain on wear-related components, which is evidenced by the immediate failure of the front tyres during the most recent MOT test. A buyer must inspect the front tyres specifically, as both the nearside and offside tyres were flagged for being worn to the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This specific pattern often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require professional attention. The failure regarding the windscreen washer system is a minor concern but reinforces the trend of neglected attention to basic fluid checks. Given the high mileage, a thorough physical inspection of the brake discs for thinning or grooving and an assessment of the underbody for corrosion are essential to ensure the high-frequency use has not compromised the structural integrity.
