We had a nose over a '69 plate ZS EV at the weekend, the good lady fell in love and we left a deposit on a FSH car with a few wrinkles in as much as one rear door didn't work, but will and it would have a minimum of 9 months MOT.
Car drove well, a few body marks but as to be expected of a 4 year car. We took out a 5 year warranty for peace of mind also.
I hadn't planned for us to be saying yes, so not much research had been done beforehand. I've since asked a few more questions and unearthed:
Registered Jan 2020
Full service history - Was serviced at first anniversary,Jan 2021. Second Service at June 2023. So not a full service history .
I'm assuming with the little research from you good people, the MG warranty is gone. The garage is a registered MG dealer if that makes any difference here? They've assured me the latest service shall be conducted before collection. This would be the 3rd service, the 'walk around' service.
Do I bail on the car? MOT was clean other than the rear discs as seems to be the norm for EV's. Any advice gratefully received.
The balance (££) has not yet been parted with.
