Insight summary

MG 4 Trophy is a scarce model in this snapshot, with 22,549 represented vehicles and 0.05% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 89.8% from 7,538 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 50. The current pool shows an average of 26,349 miles and an average age of 2.9 years. Electric leads the fuel split, and the most frequent defect themes are tyre condition, lighting and windscreen damage. The practical read is that the MG 4 Trophy looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
