Our Verdict
This MG 3 is a reasonable option for a b
When viewing this vehicle, your first priority should be the tyres. The June 2026 MOT specifically noted the nearside front outer tyre is worn close to the legal limit and both rear tyres are cracking or perishing. You should negotiate the sale price downwards to account for the immediate cost of a full set of new tyres.
Check the service history documentation to see if the tyre wear noted in the MOTs (both in 2023 and 2026) aligns with regular maintenance intervals. Since the 2025 MOT failure was a simple stop lamp issue, ensure all exterior lighting is currently functioning. Given the age and mileage, ask for proof of any recent brake or suspension inspections, as these often correlate with tyre wear patterns.
The 1498cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group, making it suitable for newer drivers, though specific group placement depends on the exact trim level. Fuel economy for this model is typically average for a small petrol hatchback, and the Euro 6D status ensures it remains compliant with most UK Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ).
Maintenance costs for an MG 3 are generally considered manageable, but you should expect regular spending on consumables like tyres, which have appeared frequently in the MOT history. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, are estimated to be in the mid-range for a small petrol car.
Focus heavily on the rubber components and tyres. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of tyre issues, specifically 'cracking or perishing' on the rear tyres in 2026 and 'worn on edge' issues in 2023 and 2026. Inspect the sidewalls of all four tyres for any signs of age-related cracking.
Additionally, check the condition of the braking system. While not a direct failure, uneven tyre wear (as noted in the 2023 and 2026 tests) can sometimes indicate alignment issues or suspension component wear. Finally, verify that all lamps, including the nearside rear stop lamp that caused the 2025 failure, are in full working order.
Registered in November 2019, this white 1.5L petrol MG 3 has covered 30,584 miles as of June 2026. While the mileage is relatively low for its age, the most recent MOT shows multiple tyre-related issues, including one near the legal limit and two others showing signs of perishing. The vehicle has passed four MOT tests, with only one recorded failure for a stop lamp in 2025.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the MG 3 to provide a comparative benchmark.
