2026 MG S6 Trophy Dual Motor EV Electricity · PX26 SNN

As a pure electric vehicle, the MG S6 Dual Motor benefits from very low running costs in terms of fuel — home charging typically costs the equivalent of a few pence per mile, while public rapid charging will be more expensive but still undercut petrol equivalents. Road tax (VED) is currently zero for BEVs, though this is subject to change and the vehicle is in its first year so no renewal cost applies yet. Insurance group data is not confirmed for this specific variant, but MG EVs have tended to sit in middle insurance groups; obtain a quote before purchase.

Maintenance costs are generally lower for EVs due to fewer moving parts, but dual-motor examples wear tyres more quickly due to higher torque and weight. Budget for earlier replacement of tyres and brake fluid services. Estimated annual running cost is in the region of £600-£900, dominated by electricity, insurance, and tyre wear rather than major service items.

Without MOT data to reference, the inspection must focus on condition rather than pass/fail history. Check the bodywork carefully for parking damage — the red paintwork will show stone chips and scratches more visibly than darker colours, particularly on the bonnet and front arches. Inspect all four tyres for even wear, as dual-motor EVs can show uneven inner-edge wear due to alignment and the substantial unsprung weight.

For the electrical systems, ask the seller to demonstrate a full charge cycle and confirm the usable battery capacity matches the original specification. Inspect the charging port for damage and check that both AC and DC charging cables are present and in good condition. Verify the operation of all driver-assistance features (which MG equips generously on Trophy trim) including the infotainment screen, reversing camera, and parking sensors. Finally, check under the bonnet for any signs of accident repair, as the absence of MOT history means structural integrity cannot be confirmed from official records.
