Used MG Mg Hs cars for sale

The MG HS has built a respectable reliability record since its 2019 UK launch, with most owner reports highlighting few major issues. The petrol engine is a proven turbocharged unit, and the plug-in hybrid version uses well-developed battery technology. Sticking to the service schedule and keeping software updated through the dealer keeps things ticking over nicely for the long term.

Make sure the service book is fully stamped to protect the remaining 7-year manufacturer warranty, which is a real bonus on a used HS. On plug-in hybrids, ask for a battery health check and confirm the home charging cable is present. Test all the electronics, infotainment and driver-assistance kit on the test drive, and check the boot floor for signs of heavy use.

The 2021-onwards HS is the pick, with improvements to the infotainment, ride comfort and equipment levels over the earliest cars. The plug-in hybrid arrived in 2021 and is well worth considering if you can charge at home. An all-new second-generation HS launched in 2024, so prices on the older model have softened nicely on the used market.

A properly looked-after HS should easily clear 150,000 miles, with the petrol turbo engine being a tried-and-tested unit. The plug-in hybrid's battery is built for long-term durability and warranties typically reflect that. As with any family SUV, regular oil changes, sensible driving and sorting any small issues quickly are what keep it running sweetly past six figures.

The HS is competitively priced to run for a family SUV, with the petrol returning around 35mpg in mixed driving and the plug-in hybrid offering very low costs if you charge regularly and keep journeys short. Insurance groups sit in the mid-range, broadly in line with a Kia Sportage or Nissan Qashqai. Servicing is reasonable at both franchised and independent garages.

The 1.5-litre turbo petrol is the simplest, most affordable choice and suits buyers doing mostly motorway and longer trips. The plug-in hybrid is the smarter pick if you can charge at home and do lots of shorter journeys, as it can cover meaningful daily mileage on electric only and slashes fuel bills. Both pair with a smooth automatic gearbox.

Worth comparing against the Nissan Qashqai, Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson, all of which sit in the same family-SUV space. The Sportage and Tucson feel a touch more upmarket inside, while the Qashqai has the strongest residuals. The HS undercuts all three on price for a like-for-like spec, which is its main draw.
