Verdict

Buy with care

SUV compact full hybrid de 197 ch, au coffre de 443 litres et noté 4 étoiles par Euro NCAP en décembre 2024. Génération trop récente : FixMyCar indique qu'il est trop tôt pour identifier des pannes courantes et aucun retour de propriétaires n'est publié pour elle, donc la fiabilité n'est pas notée. Vérifiez le suivi du réseau MG et la garantie restante.

You are importing the car to:

Import penalty (malus) in France

  • Emissions of the versions in this guide: 114 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 ZS”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.

Real monthly cost

Fuel, insurance, maintenance and depreciation, excluding finance. Move the slider to match your mileage. How it is calculated

Monthly cost by item
Fuel or electricity€124
Insurance€80
Maintenance€31
Depreciation€240
Total per month€475

⚠ Estimates to treat with caution

  • Consumption taken from a published range (depends on trim and tyres).
  • Insurance: average for a closely related model (other generation or same platform).
  • Maintenance: published servicing price plus an estimated allowance for tyres and brakes.
  • Maintenance: budget of a closely related model.
  • Depreciation estimated at 12% of the median price a year, as no year-by-year valuation is usable.
Calculation details (12,000 km a year)
Fuel (petrol)€124

1.5 Hybrid+ 197 version: combined consumption of 5.05 L/100 km, increased by 15% for real-world driving, at 2.14 €/L, for 1,000 km a month.

5.05 × 1.15 × 2.14 € × 10 = €124

Petrol price (SP95-E10): French national average on 7 October 2026.

Insurance€80

Average monthly premium published for this model by insurance comparison sites (comprehensive cover when stated). Your premium depends on your profile.

Depreciation€240

Value lost in a year by a typical example, from the average drop in valuation per year of age (yearly medians of listings), per month.

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 MG Pilot : fluidité, alertes intempestives.
  • Essayer le passage du mode électrique au moteur thermique : à-coups, bruit, vibrations.
  • 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 ?
  • La voiture a-t-elle fait l'objet d'un rappel, et avez-vous l'attestation ?

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 ZS 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.
