MG ZS buying advice?

[petrolsniffer]

Hello all MG fans.

Insted of starting a what car/ownership experience thread In general gassing and get the usual headgasket,MG are FAIL crap etc.

I'm going to go look at an MG ZS 1.8 120 this weekend it has part service history and importantly it had a headgasket around 10k ago along with the cambelt and waterpump.

Anything else I need to look for?

I'm totally new to Rover/MG I have experience looking around cars but I know some have quirks or specifics when you're looking around to buy.

Also my commute is around 7 miles My puma just gets upto temp around half way but I never give it the beans all under 4krpm will a ZS hold upto this I understand if the HG is done 'Right' the first time it shouldn't be a problem later?

Well I bought it

Pretty much perfect the history checks out the cambelt,waterpump,headgasket etc were all done at the same time at the cost of £570.

Well happy with it don't know what the fuss about MG is although I'm used to french cars so maybe i'm easily pleased.
