Buying a used MG ZS proved possible when the Auto ESA dealership did not have a problem with the loan, zpravy.aktualne.cz reported. How the Chinese Crossover Became a Czech Bestseller When the MG brand entered the Czech market in 2022, the ZS model quickly emerged as a bestseller, offering dimensions approaching the Škoda Karoq at a noticeably lower price.
By 2023, the model year of the tested vehicle, 2,034 motorists purchased the ZS, making it the 21st best-selling car on the domestic market.
Initial Impressions and Mechanical Inspection
The vehicle features a modern exterior and an interior equipped with sport-style seats, artificial leather covers with red stitching, and a roomy rear and trunk.
When sunlight hits the dashboard from the side, it blinds the display under the steering wheel, leaving the driver unable to check speed without a head-up display. Additionally, two yellow warning lights for the cruise control and tire pressure monitoring remain illuminated, a frequent issue noted on owner forums.
Chassis and Interior Wear Analysis
An inspection at the Retroautomuseum workshops in Strnadice with Libor Kucharski revealed no major play in the chassis components, with Kucharski noting it looked comparable to a Škoda Fabia with a similar mileage. However, the undercarriage showed starting corrosion in some joints due to protective coating appearing only under plastic panels.
Inside, while the steering wheel, gear lever, and seats remained in good condition, Kucharski observed a worn-out floor mat near the pedals, a broken rear window shelf, and misaligned plastics in the luggage compartment side trim.
