2004 MG ZS: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 62% pass first time (all 2004 cars: 57%) Stands out: drive shaft (cv) joints 1.9×, rust around suspension or steering mountings 1.9×, body structure rust or damage 2.1× 1,006 MOTsSee the petrol guide ›

Diesel and Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
