MG Zs Exclusive EV (2019)
2019 MG Zs Exclusive EV
CarHunch analysed 491 real MOT records for the 2019 MG Zs Exclusive EV. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 MG ZS EV is a reliably safe bet—it passes MOT on the first attempt 87.6% of the time, well above the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects show up in only 14.5% of vehicles, which is reassuring for an electric car with battery and high-voltage systems. You'll want to check the specifics of any advisories, though: these cars average 4.4 advisories per test, suggesting minor wear items crop up regularly.
With a median mileage of just 33,507 miles for a five-year-old car, these examples are relatively lightly used, which partly explains the strong pass rate and also means you're less likely to hit major component fatigue if you buy one. Focus your pre-purchase inspection on the battery health and charging system—they don't show up in MOT failure stats, but they're what you'll actually live with, and an independent EV specialist assessment is worth the money before you commit.
What to check before buying a 2019 MG Zs Exclusive EV
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
