Default 2005 ZT CDTi 135+ - Kent - £1400

HI guys, the time has come to let my ZT go and I would like it to go to a forum memeber/enthusiast before it ends up on ebay!

(bare in mind some of the ad is written for other places so some bits might sound obvious to people in the know)


Specs:
2005 MG ZT CDti 135+ manual
Starlight Silver
1 years MOT, no advisories (24/03/2016)
18" 'Gridspoke' alloys, 4 new tyres (around 1k miles on these)
2.0 M47 engine, BMW chain driven engine, bulletproof.
123k - 9k until next service
Full service history, with all work needed in my ownership (very little) being taken care of by my dad, a MG/Rover master tech of 30+ years, so safe hands!
6CD, wheel controls (although not connected with aftermarket HU, standard also included)
E/W, Climate etc
Phillips headunit with USB, AUX and bluetooth handsfree etc

It has a 'Synergy 2' device fitted, boosts power to around 150bhp and improves throttle response, MPG and power delivery - these are bespoke tuning boxes, not cheap eBay resistors!

I have also done the Renault 5 thermostat mod (sits in-line and over-rides the standard unit) a highly recomended modification that controls engine temp better, gets up-to temp quicker and cures any issues with sticky thermostats.

It was purchased from Apple MG in 2013 and went through a vigorous inspection at that point not only by them, but my Dad, a Rover/MG master tech who specialised in the 75/ZT platform from the start.


The Good:
  • Great condition for age inside/out
  • Tons of history, receipts etc
  • Interior is in great condition, no rips or tears
  • 2 keys
  • Returns 50mpg on a run and pulls well for a big car


The bad:
  • Various age/milage related marks you would expect, its 10 years old, but generally speaking it cleans up very well and still looks great
  • One of the reverse sensors is playing up so sometimes you get a solid beep to warn you... will try and replace before sale.
  • A couple of the wheels would benefit from a refurb, I didn't bother as it been used to commute...


Included in the sale:

- Set of Vitron intercooler rings

- Genuine headlight protectors

- I lost £2 inside somewhere...


Really not much else to say, it has been 100% faultless for me the past 18 months (clocking up 20k without needing more than bulbs/consumables, but now I'm walking to work it is well and truly surplus to requirements.

With a years MOT and 4 new tyres this should be nice trouble free motoring for someone!

In terms of PX im looking for something for the weekend and narrowed it down to a ZS180 or possibly a Focus ST170/Clio Sport.

Judging by some others selling I think £1600 would be a better asking price - please tell me if I'm wrong though!

Any interest at all for a clean ZT?

I really don't want the end up putting this on eBay!

Thanks - seems silly how cheap some of these go for.

I think bearing in mind the years MOT, 4 new tyres and 10k before the next service, £1400 would be a more realistic price.

Feel free to PM offers though, its hardly gets used anymore!

Thanks! Be a shame to see it go, I got a ton of stick when I got it (I was 25 at the time!) but it has been 100% reliable, comfy and cheap to run...unlike my previous roster of cars!
