Used second hand 2019 is it worth it?

[Wave]

Hi I was looking into getting a used 2019 zs ev (no sunroof) with 22k km on it. Was wondering if there is anything to look out for? Is there any difference between the 19 to 21 version? How could I test the battery? Is an ODB test good enough?

if the price is right.. Then go for it. The battery should be tested with an ODB. That should be fine. The car should also log how it has been charged in the past for warranty purposes so you should go to an MG dealer to get that data out of the car.

I don't know if the 8 year battery warranty is transferrable so check that and any goverment grant will probaly not apply to second hand vehicles. So keep that in mind when negotiating a price.

No sunroof means it’s an “Excite” model.
It will not have roof bars and a lot of other extras that the “Exclusive” model has.
Just check out the both spec’s before buying, just to be 100% sure it meets you needs !.
If you don’t require the extras, then fine.

That’s interesting. Are you sure that the car logs charging history - rapid/AC use etc? That’s great data to have. What’s an ODB?

I think that should be OBD (On Board Diagnostics).

Thanks for all the info, the asking price new for the basic version in Israel is 128k . I am going to try and get if for ~85k so its 66% of the original price, for a 2 year+ old car that seems like a bargain. I just hope it reaches the 7-10 years problem free lifespan that most modern cars achieve....
Regarding the battery what app would you recommend for testing via OBD?
