Is a used MG HS hatchback reliable?
The 2024-present generation of HS is too new to have featured in the latest What Car? Reliability Survey, but the car’s predecessor did feature and it didn’t do well. Out of 76 family SUVs, the PHEV finished in 44th place and the petrol in 61st. That's pretty poor, finishing below the Citroën C5 Aircross, Hyundai Tucson and Mazda CX-5.
As a brand, MG did even worse. It finished in last place out of 30 manufacturers, placing it below all of its rivals.
