2020 MG ZS Exclusive EV Electric · YN70 XAF

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding braking components and consumable wear. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 53,941 miles, the number of advisories has increased significantly compared to the clean record in 2023. The transition from a zero-defect report to multiple mechanical advisories suggests that preventative maintenance is being deferred rather than addressed proactively. At a recorded 53,941 miles over six years, the car has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a modern EV. The data shows consistent mileage accumulation with roughly 11,000 miles driven between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 10,349 miles between 2024 and 2025. This steady usage indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which explains the gradual degradation of the braking hardware noted in the later inspections. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the tester flagged all four brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored in both 2024 and 2025. The recurring pitting on the discs often indicates periods of inactivity or poor-quality components, which can lead to reduced stopping performance if not replaced. Furthermore, the 2025 advisory for a nearside front tyre worn on the inner edge and cracking rear tyres suggests a potential alignment issue or suspension wear that requires immediate attention to prevent further uneven tyre degradation.
