Used MG cars for sale

MG buying guide

What MG models are there?

MG’s range starts with the MG3 hatchback, which rivals cars like the Suzuki Swift and Dacia Sandero. It’s a great-value small car with a decent amount of space inside, and comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto phone connectivity. The MG3 has been on sale for quite a while, and it’s starting to feel like it with its wheezy engine and plasticky cabin. But it does come with a fantastic seven-year warranty, so every MG3 at Motorpoint will have at least three years’ warranty left.

Next up is the MG4 EV, a fully electric hatchback to rival the Volkswagen ID.3. It offers up to 281 miles on a full charge and can recharge to 80% at a public fast-charger in just over half an hour, both of which are very impressive for a value-focused family EV. Standard features are extensive and the MG4 is decent enough to drive. It’ll tick a lot of boxes for a lot of electric car buyers.

The first electric estate car ever sold in the UK, the MG5 EV is unwaveringly sensible. A 200-mile range, reasonably fast charging capability and a decent boot all impress, as does the comfortable ride and relaxing drive. Okay, there’s not much flair, but that’s to be expected.

Which MG models are SUVs?

Classic MG enthusiasts might moan about the brand’s deviation from sports cars to SUVs, but they’ve become popular for offering plenty of positives for less than rival cars. The ZS is the smaller of the two, yet offers a much bigger boot than something like a Hyundai Kona or Nissan Juke. Low prices are reflected in the interior quality, but all the must-have features are there, including phone connectivity and parking sensors. You can choose petrol engines or the electric ZS EV and, if you can stretch to the EV’s higher price and the cost of installing a home wallbox, we’d recommend that one.

Then there’s the MG HS, which has a bigger boot and a more convincing interior. A petrol engine is the standard choice, with either a manual or automatic gearbox, while there’s also a plug-in hybrid that pairs a petrol engine with an electric motor and a battery. This helps the MG HS PHEV to be quicker off the line and more economical – use electric power whenever possible and you could see 155mpg.
