MG MGTF (2002-06)

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MG MGTF (2002-06) is a compact, two-seat convertible sports car, rather than a practical family hatchback. It sits in the UK’s affordable used roadster market, offering open-air motoring and a more distinctive choice than everyday small cars. Mycarcheck.com records 6,090 checks across 2,946 different VINs, a substantial sample for this specialist model.
Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,300 and average recorded mileage of 61,000 miles. Typical annual use is low, at about 2,000 miles, while cars have averaged roughly six previous keepers. These figures suggest many are occasional-use enthusiast cars, so condition and service history deserve careful attention when viewing one.
It suits drivers seeking weekend fun and scenic trips, but two seats limit family use. Against rivals such as the Mazda MX-5, the MG TF stands out for its British badge and character; assess condition and history carefully when viewing a used example.
MG TFs from 2002–06 can hide outstanding finance, write-offs, damage, mileage problems or theft—and age-related faults can mean costly repairs. Enter the reg now and check before you buy.
