Long-term ZS owners

[trogg]

I've just put a deposit on a 2023 MG ZS EV.
I'm buying it, subject to a test drive next week.
I'd like to hear from any long-term owners about reliability, etc., and their experience with MG motors.
Never had an EV before, and my current diesel car hasn't had any real problems in the last 13 years that I've owned it, hoping to get something as reliable.
Thanks.

From what I've read on here, it's a lottery

From taxi driver with 100,000 miles on an MG4, without issue... see;
Highest mileage MG4 owner

through to this poor chap with 2 years+ of hassle with his ZS...
Not how I thought today was going to pan out...

I bought new in Jan 25 and it has worked just fine for 6,000 miles.
The infotainment is a bit flaky but I find that entertaining.
I also found you can get the car to believe it is ready to charge with the blue lights showing, but if the connector is not fully home it won't charge. There is a good 1/2 inch gap between the lights going on and the cable being fully home.

Just recently bought an ex-rental '72 plate with 96k, very happy with condition and price paid (sub-£10k).

Only concern is all service history is non-MG, so no software updates since new, therefore I paid £50 for Tesla "upgrade" to be applied.

If your purchase is sub-80k miles check that an annual MG service has been done, to protect your Warranty, which may hopefully mean that any new software updates got done each year.

If you buy it, be sure to do a top balance charge (AC from sub-20% to 100% and leave connected after for 4/5 hours)

It has less than 1000 miles, and I'm buying it from an MG dealership.
However, it is over 2 and a half years old, but when I asked about service history, she told me that it had its first one done and was due a second one. I'm led to believe it should be done every year or every 10,000 miles, whichever is sooner.
