  • Afternoon all. Bit of an odd question but I'm very new to EVs.

    I'm thinking about trading up my 2015 petrol VW Polo to a a cheap EV, and the MG ZS feels like it ticks enough boxes to make the grade, I'm looking at ones from 2020 and 2021.

    There's loads of examples on autotrader but I notice a lot of them don't have full service history, which has always been something I've looked for in a petrol vehicle. Is lack of FSH normal or less important with an EV?

  • I've got a Nissan EV annual health check report here for mine and there is so little on it as an EV drivetrain is mechanically so much simpler than ICE.

    Battery health check is the big thing (it gets a whole page) the rest is just a basic brake fluid/pads, tyres, air con+ air filters, lights etc. checklist on a single page.

  • Current ZS EV owner, 7 year warranty is void if a service is missed.

  • Sorry, should add, I've had no issues with the car, perfect for what I need nursery/school run.

    4 years in, no noticeable degradation of the battery. 140ish miles in summer, 110miles in winter, driven in normal mode(out of Eco, Normal & Sport) KERS level 3(default highest setting).

    Average of 3.6 Miles/kWh over the 4 years.
