Money owing and write-offs on the ZS

16% had money owing
22% were recorded as written off

Of about 190 used MG ZS checked on Carify since November 2023. Every car checked: 9% had money owing and 13% were written off.

These are cars people chose to check before buying, so they are not a share of every ZS on the road. Money owing is what was registered against the car on the day it was checked.
