2020 MG ZS Excite VTI-Tech 1.5L Petrol · YN70 XAP

The vehicle cleared its most recent MOT on 8 April 2025 at 34,077 miles with no recorded defects, indicating a current road‑worthiness status of passed. Earlier failures in October 2023 and April 2024 centred on tyre tread depth and a rear brake disc approaching the wear limit, but those items were rectified by the April 2025 test, showing an improving maintenance trend. Across a six‑year span the car has accumulated 34,077 miles, averaging roughly 5,700 miles per year – well below the typical annual mileage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression from 27,921 miles in October 2023 to 31,112 miles in April 2024, then to 31,127 miles five days later, and finally to 34,077 miles in April 2025, demonstrates steady, modest use without abrupt spikes. No large gaps in testing suggest that the vehicle has been kept regularly on the road and presented for MOT without prolonged storage periods. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of all four tyres, confirming that tread depth now exceeds the legal 1.6 mm threshold and that sidewall integrity is intact, given the prior sidewall damage noted on the near‑side front tyre in 2023. Inspection of the rear brake discs for uniform thickness and any scoring is advisable, as the disc was flagged for wear in both 2023 and 2024. The near‑side rear child seat fitted at the 2025 test may restrict full access to the adult belt, so a visual check of the seat‑belt mechanism is warranted. Finally, a brief look at suspension components – bushings and coil springs – and a surface examination for corrosion will ensure that no latent structural issues have arisen since the last MOT.
