Value Analysis​

• 2021 (71 reg) — £11,450, 20k miles
  • Newest car, lowest mileage.
  • Will have the most warranty left.
  • Likely best long-term reliability (battery degradation slower at 20k vs 66k).
    – Most expensive (£2.8k–£2.7k more).
• 2020 (70 reg) — £8,705, 66k miles
  • Cheapest upfront.
  • Same spec (pan roof, ACC, AEB, sat nav, etc.).
    – High mileage for an EV of this age, so more wear & tear + potential faster battery degradation.
    – Shortest remaining warranty time.
• 2020 (20 reg) — £9,638, 48k miles
  • Middle ground: still cheaper than the 2021, but much lower mileage than the 66k car.
  • Full feature set same as others.
    – About £1k more than the 70-plate, but ~18k fewer miles — arguably better value.

Confused about whether you are buying an MG5EV or MGZSEV?
In your other thread you say you are buying an MG5.

I would not go for the most expensive one, not worth it. Warranty is not 7 years on everything, just the battery. Also, my ZS Mk2 is coming up to 60K, drives just fine and the battery seems perfectly fine. I would try to get the cheapest one even cheaper if you can but I would avoid buying privately.
