I have asked the very question... Plus it has MOT.
Reading the ad in more detail, it appears to be a "Trade In" so I bet its been traded in and then because of the Make, Age and Miliage its been sent for scrap rather than auctioned off etc...

Very sad, I hope someone can save it and keep it on the road.

Probably thought head gasket bla, bla, not worth it regardless of engine type fitted!

Shame,
The ZS is going to become pretty rare as time goes on with this kind of thing happening.
Now the values are rock bottom, it's only real enthusiasts with some spare cash that are fixing them if they go wrong, the rest are getting scrapped because of one fault.
Also, being cheap cars now, many are in the hands of boy racers, and won't last long before being crashed, blown up, or chavved up to the point where they'd be better off scrapped.
I've had my 2003 XPG 180 saloon since 2006 and have no plans to part with it. I just hope parts availability doesn't eventually hamstring those of us willing to maintain them.

Hopefully then the 180 I have will be worth a few more quid in a few years lol
