2019 MG ZS 1.5L Petrol · WF69 DTV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in September 2025, but the test results highlight several maintenance issues that will likely need immediate attention. As of June 2026, this certificate is approaching nine months old, meaning a new MOT will be due shortly. The recorded mileage of 40,732 miles is low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging under 6,000 miles per year, which suggests the car has been used lightly or potentially stored for periods. The most serious risk pattern involves the braking system. The 2025 test recorded advisories for nearside and offside front brake pads wearing thin, alongside both rear brake discs being worn, pitted, or scored. This indicates that the front brakes are nearing the end of their life, while the rear discs show signs of corrosion or deterioration. Given the low annual mileage, the pitting on the rear discs is a strong indicator that the vehicle has been standing idle for long periods, causing surface rust to form on the components. There is also a clear history of tyre wear. The MOTs in 2023 and 2024 listed multiple tyres worn close to the legal limit on various corners of the car. While the 2025 test did not flag any tyre defects, implying they were likely replaced, the recurring nature of these advisories suggests the previous owner may have delayed replacing them until the last moment or that the tracking requires regular adjustment.
