What should I look for in a used MG MG5 estate?

Unlike many competitor EVs, MG provides the full array of cables (including a slow-charge, three-pin lead) with every MG5. Make sure they are all supplied with the car because they can be quite expensive to replace.

Other than that, you should do all the regular used car checks, such as seeing whether there's any damage to the bumpers and bodywork, examining the alloy wheels for extensive kerb damage, and making sure the interior hasn't been trashed by family life.

Is a used MG MG5 estate reliable?

MG performed well in the 2022 What Car? Reliability Survey finishing in joint ninth place out of 32 manufacturers. That was above all its key rivals except Mazda and Mini. The MG5 was too new to feature in our most recent survey.

You get a seven-year or 80,000-mile warranty from new.
