MG ZS EV Longevity

[Cliff Mitchell]

MG ZS EV's haven't been out as long in Australia as they have been in other places, particularly in GB. There is very little information about their endurance. Based on the experience of the forum, what is the greatest number of (kilometers/miles) an MG ZS EV has travelled (relatively trouble free)

So far 17027 miles trouble free motoring, really pleased

How do you judge longevity? I suppose with an EV, it comes down to battery.

I had a 9 year old Citroen Zero, whose original range was claimed to be 93 miles. After the 9 years, (I owned it for 5 of those), its range was down to 40 miles in the winter and 50+ in the summer. It still would be a good car for the school run etc.

Body and mechanics we will only find out when they become problems. My guess is that the Chinese manufacturing QA is pretty good.

It's gonna a bit of a mystery for a few years..............

Thanks for that. 27000 kilometers is a good start. Gives me confidence for the future.

The tyres still have about 5mm of tread left too and so these are wearing well also.

I am told, by those who are in the know, the tyres that come with the vehicle are top quality. Looks like MG made a serious effort to provide a quality product.
