The MG ZS (2001-05) ZS+ 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 120 STEP AUTO6 is a compact five-door family hatchback from MG’s early-2000s range, not the later ZS SUV. Its sporty styling gives it more character than many everyday hatchbacks, while the automatic gearbox makes town driving less demanding. In the UK used-car market today, it is an older, budget-priced choice for buyers seeking something distinctive rather than a newer, more economical small car. Mycarcheck.com has recorded just four look-ups across three different VINs for this exact model, so the figures are a small snapshot, not a broad market average. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £600, average recorded mileage of 72,000 miles, and around 6,000 miles driven annually. An affordable runabout, it suits commuters or small households. Checks show 3.5 previous keepers on average; MG character distinguishes it from Focus and Astra rivals, but inspect age-related condition and costs carefully.
