MG used cars

British automotive manufacturer MG has been around for more than 90 years but was bought by China’s largest carmaker, SAIC Motors in 2009. 

This allowed for a comeback in the UK market with a range of affordable and well-equipped petrol and electric cars. 

History of MG

Morris Garages (MG) was founded by Cecil Kimber in the 1920s, starting life as a two-seat sports car company but soon moving onto make saloons, coupés and eventually SUVs. 

Now, MG is owned by SAIC Motors and operates very differently from its beginnings.  

It no longer makes sports cars and instead has focused its power on electric hatchbacks, estate cars and SUVs. There is, however, the MG Cyberster on the horizon – an all-electric drop-top sports car. 

Standout MG features

Used MG cars are known for their generous standard equipment levels. For example, even the entry-level models come with alloy wheels, air-con and a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.  

Higher-spec models add features such as leather seats, a panoramic sunroof and adaptive cruise control.  

Used MG cars for sale also achieve good safety ratings, with many of them receiving a full five-star rating in their most recent Euro NCAP safety tests.  

This is thanks to safety features such as airbags, anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control.  

MG cars for sale also have a good reputation for reliability after being bought by SAIC Motors, which is amazing considering the low prices for its new cars. 

Driving an MG

An MG for sale is generally very fuel-efficient, which means they’re relatively cheap to run – especially the electric models, which should be more reliable due to having fewer moving parts.  

You should consider a used MG if you’re looking for an affordable and well-equipped car.  

They're also a good choice for those looking for a car with low running costs, such as families, who can also benefit from the practicality.  

Overall, MG used cars offer a good balance of features, reliability, safety and running costs.
