You are importing the car to:

Import penalty (malus) in France

  • Emissions of the versions in this guide: 14 to 126 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

Recent model: not enough hindsight yet (years, mileage) for faults to be publicly documented, 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

Things to check

  • Faire vérifier avec le numéro de série, chez un concessionnaire MG, les rappels et mises à jour logicielles déjà effectués.
  • Contrôler la garantie constructeur restante et le carnet d'entretien.
  • Tester l'écran multimédia et les aides à la conduite, que Carbuyer juge parfois difficiles à désactiver.
  • Sur le PHEV : demander l'état de la batterie, tester la recharge et l'autonomie électrique réelle.
  • Repérer l'atelier MG le plus proche avant l'achat.

Questions to ask the seller

  • Avez-vous le carnet d'entretien et les factures du réseau MG ?
  • Des mises à jour logicielles ou des interventions sur l'écran et les aides à la conduite ont-elles eu lieu ?
  • Pour le PHEV : quelle autonomie électrique réelle constatez-vous et la batterie a-t-elle été diagnostiquée ?

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.

Before you buy: check and equip

Check the history

Before paying, check the administrative status (lien, objection, declared claims) and the mileage recorded at the roadworthiness test.

Read fault codes

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 II (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.
