The MG ZS (2001-05) ZS+ 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TD 100 is a five-door diesel family hatchback from MG’s sporty early-2000s range. It sits between ordinary compact hatchbacks and larger family cars, offering useful everyday space with a more energetic character than many sensible rivals. It is a distinctive older choice. mycarcheck.com has recorded 40 checks covering 21 VINs, a helpful sample for this ageing model. Those checks show an average private-sale value of £600 and average recorded mileage of 101,000 miles. Typical annual use is around 6,000 miles, while cars have averaged 5.55 previous keepers, so histories deserve careful checking. The 2.0-litre turbo-diesel suits regular commuting and longer trips, with relaxed running and economy; the ZS+ trim adds a better-equipped feel. It can work for budget-minded drivers or small households wanting a practical hatch with more personality than a typical used diesel, but age, condition and service records matter greatly.
