Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When inspecting this MG HS, focus on verifying the full service history to ensure that oil changes were performed regardless of the low annual mileage. Check that the windscreen washer issue, which caused a failure in February 2026, has been fully rectified and that the wipers are in good condition.
Negotiate based on the availability of a complete manufacturer's service record. As this is a 1.5L petrol model, ensure the engine starts smoothly from cold and there are no warning lights on the dashboard, as these are key indicators for this specific engine variant.
The 1490cc petrol engine is Euro 6 compliant, meaning it avoids most urban emission charges. Fuel economy for this engine size in a vehicle of this weight is typically moderate, and insurance costs will depend on the driver's profile, though the HS generally sits in a mid-range insurance group.
Annual costs will include the standard VED road tax for a petrol vehicle of this age and regular servicing. Maintenance costs are likely to remain low in the short term given the low odometer reading of 16,455 miles.
Review the MOT history from February 2026, where the vehicle failed due to the windscreen washer not working; ensure the pump and nozzles are now fully operational. Inspect the tyres for any signs of cracking or 'flat-spotting' that can occur when a car is driven very sparingly, as seen with the low mileage progression between 2024 and 2025.
Check the bodywork of the red paint for any fading or chips, and ensure all electronic features of the EXCITE trim are functioning correctly. While no major mechanical failures are listed in the MOT history, a physical check of the brake pads and discs is advised to ensure they haven't suffered from surface corrosion due to low usage.
This 2021 red MG HS EXCITE S-A presents as a low-use example with only 16,455 miles recorded as of February 2026. The MOT history shows three passes and one minor failure related to the windscreen washer, with no structural or mechanical defects recorded. Given the low mileage and Euro 6 petrol engine, it offers a modern, compliant package.
Aggregate reliability data for this specific MG HS variant is not available, but the individual history of this vehicle shows no major recurring mechanical issues.
