Common Problem

Engine and Performance Issues

Several users have reported engine-related issues with the MG ZS 2023. One user experienced engine struggling and jerking at high RPMs, which worsened over time. Another user mentioned an engine rattling noise due to using a lower grade gasoline (91 instead of the recommended 95). These issues seem to be related to either software or fuel type, and some owners were advised to bring their vehicles in for a software update to address these problems.

Rust and Quality Concerns

A significant concern raised by a new MG ZS owner was the presence of rust on the engine and other parts shortly after purchase. This raises questions about the vehicle's quality control, especially since rust is not typically expected on a brand-new car. The dealership's response was slow, leading the owner to consider legal action.

Water Ingress

Another issue reported with the MG ZS EV model involved water ingress under the bonnet, causing electronic faults. The garage blamed the owner for driving through deep water, although the owner claimed otherwise. This suggests potential design flaws in sealing components against water spray from the road, which could lead to further electrical issues if not addressed.

Suspension and Ride Comfort

Some users noted that the suspension on the MG ZS can feel bouncy, particularly during test drives. While this might not be a deal-breaker for everyone, it could affect ride comfort, especially on uneven roads.

Customer Service and Support

There are mixed reviews regarding customer service and support. Some users expressed dissatisfaction with how dealerships handled their complaints, suggesting a lack of responsiveness and accountability. It's important for potential buyers to consider the quality of after-sales service when purchasing an MG ZS.
