I have the exact colour, exact long range delivered in March 2023, mine is not a Connect model which I am searching hard to get round, but I know they need to be fitted by factory and not after sale. I also live in Scotland, so lets see if my car behaves, but I am loving it more everyday.
Very sorry if it happens to the guy with problems, but I do believe cars are not design simple, even bigger vehicles design are more sophisticated then you think, like someone mentioned about lorries and truck brakes fail, as far as I know, those big vehicles has brakes naturally applied when not in used, and each morning driver goes to work with it, they have to wait some time before the gas tank built up enough pressure to "release" the brakes so you can drive off, hence you hear loud "cheee cheee" noise, gas pressure is released so the brakepads can move back to the drum by the springs engage brake, so if you drive a truck, you are releasing pressure to stop and not like cars, pushing oil to force the brake pads to discs or drums.
Going to back to the MG ZS EV, I think if there are problems with 9 flashing errors, the car should not be drivable and after the incident happens, a courtesy car should have given by MG or insurance company, as I would think the police / insurance company / MG will not let you drive the same vehicle?
