How much is road tax on a MG Mg Zs?
Most used MG Mg Zs in stock pay the flat standard rate of £200 a year — 100% were first registered on or after 1 April 2017, when road tax became a single annual rate regardless of CO₂. Figures are for the 2026/27 UK tax year.
Three MG ZS models are currently available on Motoring Today, with models from 2019 to 2020 listed. Understanding the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), commonly known as road tax, for a used MG ZS depends primarily on its initial registration date and its CO2 emissions or fuel type. UK road tax rules for used cars are not based on the car's age when you buy it, but on when it was first registered. For cars first registered after 1 April 2017, such as the MG ZS models currently listed, a different VED system applies. These vehicles are subject to a first-year rate based on CO2 emissions, followed by a standard annual flat rate. Additionally, cars with a list price exceeding £40,000 when new incur an annual surcharge for five years from the second year of registration, which applies irrespective of CO2 output. Fully electric vehicles have historically been exempt, but this exemption is set to change. Older cars, generally those registered before April 2017, were taxed purely on CO2 emissions bands. Due to these varying regulations, the exact VED amount can differ significantly between individual cars. For an accurate figure for any specific used MG ZS on Motoring Today, please check the detailed specifications provided for that particular vehicle.
