Insight summary

MG Mgf is a very rare model in this snapshot, with 4,443 represented vehicles and 0.01% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 72.4% from 39,586 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 54. The current pool shows an average of 67,789 miles and an average age of 25.0 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 67,789 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by other, and the most frequent defect themes are parking brake, exhaust emissions and braking components. The practical read is that the MG Mgf looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
