Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MG ZR (2001-05) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TD 100 is a compact five-door hatchback, giving it a sportier image than a conventional small family car while retaining everyday practicality. In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable older hatchbacks, offering extra room and a distinctive MG character without the size of a larger car.
mycarcheck.com recorded 33 checks covering 22 different cars, a useful but modest sample. Its average private-sale estimate is £800; recorded mileage averages 88,000 miles, with about 6,000 miles added yearly. Nearly six previous keepers on average suggests checking each car’s history carefully. It may suit budget-conscious commuters or small households.
For buyers seeking an affordable diesel, the 2.0-litre engine can make longer journeys economical, while five doors help with passengers and shopping. Youthful styling and a lively feel distinguish it from rivals such as the Ford Focus; age and condition matter more than badge appeal.
