How stringent is the MG EV warranty? - Struggling to find a used ZS EV that PRECISELY conforms

Hi,
I am looking to buy a used MG ZS EV (22-23 reg). The service interval necessary to retain the warranty is every 12 months or 15,000 miles, either at an MG dealership or with evidence that the work undertaken was in line with requirements. I am yet to find a single car exactly conforms with this (and fits my requirements in terms of model variant and mileage)!

The majority have either patchy or no service history. Even those claiming a full service history don't quite. E.g. a couple I've seen have sufficient number of services, but without quite a year between consecutive services (e.g. 28th Nov then 1 Dec the next year). How stringent are they about this? I called MG customer services about this - they said it's assessed "on a case by case basis" which wasn't very helpful.

Can anyone comment on how stringent they are?...
1) Have you had warranty claims dismissed because one of your services was just a few days late?
2) Have you had warranty claims dismissed because a service was carried out at a non-MG dealer and had insufficient evidence as to the work undertaken?

Has anyone successfully found and bought a 3-to-4 year old used MG EV that conforms fully with the service requirements?

(Note I have searched the forums and whilst found some relevant threads, not much in the way that directly addresses these queries)
 
Thanks your your reply Alb. This makes a big difference - many of the cars I believed had warranty voided would in fact be ok in this case. For my peace of mind, could you please let me know the source of this information? Is it officially stated somewhere?

Also, I've noticed that on the MG UK website there's a facility to search for "Approved" MG used cars. There's no explanation that I can see for what "approved" actually means. But it must mean something because there are far more used MG ZS EVs from MG dealerships for sale in the UK than the 8 that appear here as "approved". I wonder if it means the warranty is guaranteed as still valid. Anyone know?

It's in the MG Warranty Statement:
