What MG ZS Trophy EV failures look like
12,176 MG ZS Trophy EV tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 3,786 tests (31.1%), with brakes on 1,991 tests (16.4%) and with lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment on 542 tests (4.5%). A test can fail on more than one thing, and an MOT can be failed on one defect while another is only advised, so these counts do not add up to the number of tests.
