Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When purchasing this MG HS, verify that the service intervals have been adhered to in the manufacturer's handbook to protect any remaining warranty. Ensure all features of the Exclusive S-A trim, such as the infotainment and driver assistance systems, are fully operational.
Negotiate based on the current tyre condition and any upcoming service requirements. While the MOT was clean, checking for a complete service history is essential for a vehicle of this age to ensure long-term viability.
The 1490cc petrol engine offers a balance of performance and efficiency typical for its class. Expect standard VED tax rates for a petrol vehicle of this year and a mid-range insurance group commensurate with the HS Exclusive trim.
Annual costs will primarily be driven by fuel consumption and routine servicing. Based on the engine size and vehicle type, the estimated annual expenditure covers fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance.
Focus your inspection on the areas where this model frequently fails MOTs, specifically the headlamps and the condition of the registration plates. Check all four tyres for wear and ensure they match the manufacturer's specifications, as tyres are a common failure point for this model across the aggregate data.
Perform a thorough check of the bodywork for any chips or scuffs on the red paint. While the February 2026 MOT recorded no defects, a physical inspection of the suspension and brake wear is always recommended for a used SUV.
This Red 2023 MG HS Exclusive S-A is a petrol-powered SUV with a recorded mileage of 15,102 miles as of February 2026. Its first MOT test resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle represents a contemporary example of the HS range with a mileage profile that sits below the model's average annual trend.
Aggregate data for 13,578 vehicles shows a respectable average MOT pass rate of 89.9%.
