Our Verdict
This is a relatively low-risk option for
When inspecting this specific MG HS, your primary focus should be the braking system. The February 2026 MOT flagged the rear brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored; you should verify if these have since been replaced or if they still require attention. Additionally, check the condition of all tyres to ensure no further issues similar to the offside rear nail recorded in the MOT history exist.
Request documentation to see if the brake disc advisory was rectified following the test. Because this is a 2023 model, you should also confirm that the manufacturer's warranty is still active and that any required scheduled servicing has been performed according to the MG service intervals, as the MOT record alone does not confirm maintenance history.
The 1.5L petrol engine places this vehicle in a relatively manageable insurance group and tax band, though specific figures depend on the individual's profile. Fuel economy for the HS model is typical for a mid-sized petrol SUV, and as a Euro 6 compliant vehicle, it is exempt from many current low-emission zone charges.
Annual running costs will be influenced by the maintenance of consumables like brakes and tyres, which are noted as recent points of concern in the MOT history. Expect typical maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age, with the potential for higher costs if the reported brake wear has not been addressed.
Direct your attention to the rear braking components. The MOT history explicitly mentions that the rear brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored. Inspect the discs for surface corrosion or uneven wear and ensure the pads have sufficient thickness.
Check the tyres thoroughly. The most recent MOT noted a nail in the offside rear tyre; ensure that the current tyres are not only free of punctures but also show even tread wear and no sidewall damage. Finally, check the overall condition of the silver paintwork and exterior trim, as these are common areas for minor cosmetic wear on used SUVs.
Registered in March 2023, this silver MG HS Exclusive has covered 15,320 miles, which is slightly above the model average of 8,035 miles per year. The MOT history is limited to one recorded test in February 2026, which resulted in a pass despite advisories regarding a nail in the tyre and worn rear brake discs. Given its age and Euro 6 petrol engine, it remains a contemporary choice for buyers seeking modern emissions standards.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 88.9% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being brake pads, tyres, and brake discs.
