The MG ZR (2001-05) ZR+ 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 120 STEP AUTO6 is a compact five-door hatchback with a sportier image than a family car. In the UK used-car market it sits between practical transport and an affordable warm hatch, offering MG styling and an automatic gearbox for easier town driving. mycarcheck.com has recorded 21 checks covering 10 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot rather than a large national sample. Those records show an average private-sale valuation of £900 and average recorded mileage of 51,000 miles; annual mileage averages 1,000, while cars have had about three previous keepers. Its five doors and manageable size suit commuters, couples and small households wanting a distinctive daily car, while the 1.8-litre engine gives livelier responses than many supermini rivals. The ZR stands out for its sporty look and character, though age means checking service history and condition is important; expect modest, not modern, economy.
