Insight summary

MG 4 Se is a scarce model in this snapshot, with 19,210 represented vehicles and 0.05% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 89.2% from 7,369 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 50. The current pool shows an average of 27,524 miles and an average age of 2.9 years. Electric leads the fuel split, followed by hybrid electric, and the most frequent defect themes are tyre condition, windscreen damage and lighting. The practical read is that the MG 4 Se looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
