MG Zs Trophy Connect EV (2021)
2021 MG Zs Trophy Connect EV
CarHunch analysed 162 real MOT records for the 2021 MG Zs Trophy Connect EV. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 MG ZS Trophy Connect EV is a solid performer on MOT, passing first-time at 92.4%—well above the UK average of 80%—with only 3.1% of vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects, indicating strong structural and safety integrity. This is a reassuringly low-risk buy from a mechanical standpoint.
At nearly 32,000 miles on average, these vehicles are still young and relatively lightly used for their age. The low failure rate of 0.23 per vehicle combined with modest advisory counts of 1.9 per car suggest routine wear rather than systemic weaknesses; when shopping for one, check the service history and have any advisories addressed before purchase, but don't expect surprise repair bills.
What to check before buying a 2021 MG Zs Trophy Connect 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.
