The MG ZR (2001-05) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.8 120 STEP AUTO6 is a compact, three-door hatchback with sporty styling, sitting among affordable small used cars in the UK. Its 1.8-litre petrol engine and automatic gearbox make it a distinctive alternative to everyday Fiesta and Corsa models, with a more assertive look than many ordinary hatchbacks. It suits commuters or drivers wanting an easy-going runabout, with the automatic gearbox appealing in stop-start traffic. The three-door body is less convenient for rear passengers and child seats, making it a better fit for singles or couples than growing families. Compact dimensions help around town, while its sporty character adds fun on weekend drives. mycarcheck.com records nine look-ups across two VINs, a small sample. Checks show an average private-sale value of £600, mileage of 63,000 and 6,000 miles annually, plus five previous keepers. As an older sporty automatic, condition and service history are key today.
