Chassis Rust on MG ZS EV Gen1

[neilb]

Got the MG ZS EV on a lift and the chassis rust after just three years is a bit concerning. Just appears to be surface rust starting to take hold so far but I've posted some pics and a video to show you all. The suspension parts appear the worst affected but some rust on the chassis is starting too. Car has only done 20,000 miles.

I had my 2020 Gen 1 ZS EV in for it's third service & MOT last week, More the same on mine. Apologies for the rubbish pics.

Not surprised that 3 years of UK salted roads will cause surface rust on these components. I think if you examine any car that has been driven in the UK you will find a similar situation.

Hmm surface seam rust - Will monitor and investigate on ours - Suspect it will be roughly the same - So where does MG stand with Rust & perforation warranty - Especially if they 'inspect' it each year when they service them....

Mercasol, Tectyl, Dintrol etc. treatment are good for the car. Almoust all new cars in Norway are treated with that. Cost some money, but its worth it! Intervals: When new (Dealer), after 2, 5 and 8 year.
