You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- Emissions of the versions in this guide: 43 g CO₂/km (check the value on the car's registration certificate).
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Check an imported car's history
HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Known faults
No fault publicly documented so far, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.
Manufacturer recalls
See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “MG HS”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.
Inspection checklist
MG HS I — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier avec le numéro de série, chez un concessionnaire MG, les rappels et mises à jour logicielles déjà effectués.
- Contrôler le carnet d'entretien et la garantie constructeur restante.
- Tester l'écran multimédia et les aides à la conduite (alertes, maintien de voie) pour repérer d'éventuels bugs.
- Sur la version hybride rechargeable : demander l'état de la batterie et tester la recharge.
- Repérer l'atelier MG le plus proche avant l'achat.
Questions to ask the seller
- Avez-vous le carnet d'entretien complet et les factures du réseau MG ?
- Des problèmes électroniques (écran, aides à la conduite) ont-ils été traités en atelier ?
- Pour l'hybride rechargeable : quelle est l'autonomie électrique réelle constatée et la batterie a-t-elle été contrôlée ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
Electric or hybrid equivalent

An OBD scanner plugged in under the steering wheel shows stored fault codes, even with warning lights off: useful during the test drive.
Parts and maintenance
Compare prices of parts for the MG HS I (timing, brakes, filters) to estimate the repairs to plan for.
Insure the car
Insurance prices vary widely from one model to another: get a quote before signing.
