Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Focus your attention on the tyres mentioned in the March 2026 MOT. While the cuts in the nearside and offside rear tyres were not deep enough to fail the test, you should verify if they have been replaced since or if they still require attention.
Review the service history to ensure it aligns with MG's requirements. Given the aggregate data for this model, specifically check the operation of the passenger door and the condition of the brake pads and discs, as these are the most frequent failure points across the 5,726 vehicles analysed.
The 1490cc petrol engine provides a balance of power and efficiency, though as a larger SUV, fuel expenditure will be higher than a compact car. Being Euro 6 compliant, it is suitable for use in low-emission zones.
Annual costs will include VED tax, insurance, and routine servicing. Maintenance costs for this model are typically standard for its class, though brake wear is a noted point of attention in aggregate data.
Inspect the nearside and offside rear tyres for the cuts identified in the 2026 MOT; if they remain, this is a valid point for price negotiation. Check the passenger door for smooth operation and inspect the brake discs and pads for premature wear, as these are top failure reasons for the MG HS.
Perform a visual check of the red paintwork for any blemishes and ensure all electronic features of the EXCITE S-A trim are functioning correctly.
This Red 2023 MG HS EXCITE S-A has covered 17,694 miles, which is well below the average annual mileage of 7,667 recorded for this model. Its first MOT in March 2026 resulted in a pass, though it included advisories regarding cuts in both rear tyres. As a Euro 6 petrol vehicle, it meets modern emissions standards.
The MG HS maintains a respectable average MOT pass rate of 88%, with common failures typically linked to brake components and door mechanisms.
