The MG ZS EV is the UK's most affordable mass-market EV and increasingly common on the used market. Less independent battery data exists for MG than established brands, making an Aviloo check particularly useful before purchase.
The MG ZS EV uses CATL lithium-ion cells with liquid thermal management. It is a credible setup and early data suggests reasonable longevity. The challenge is that unlike Nissan, Tesla or Hyundai, there is significantly less independent long-term battery data for MG available. Used buyers often have more uncertainty about what they are getting.
The two main variants, the 44kWh pre-facelift model and the 72kWh post-2021 version, behave differently. The smaller pack shows faster proportional degradation over mileage. An Aviloo test removes the guesswork entirely.
The MG ZS EV uses Chinese CATL cells which have generally shown good durability. However, it is one of the less tested EVs in independent studies compared to Nissan or Hyundai, and used examples come without the same depth of battery data as more established brands. An Aviloo check is particularly valuable here.
A 2020 to 2022 MG ZS EV should typically show 86 to 94% SOH on an Aviloo test. The smaller 44kWh battery in pre-facelift models may show slightly higher degradation per year than the 72kWh version in later models.
The MG ZS EV has liquid-cooled battery thermal management, which helps protect the battery during fast charging and in varied temperatures. It is a step above passive cooling but less sophisticated than the system in a Hyundai or Kia.
There is less independent data on MG ZS EV battery longevity than on established brands. The Aviloo test gives you a cell-level measurement rather than relying on the BMS readout or the seller's claim. At the price point of used MG ZS EVs, the £79 test cost is well justified.
