The MG ZR (2001-05) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 120 is a compact five-door hatchback with a sportier character than an ordinary family runabout. It sits in the small-car market, offering useful rear doors and everyday practicality alongside MG styling. In its day, it brought a livelier, more youthful alternative to mainstream rivals such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. The 1.8-litre 120 version is best suited to drivers wanting a compact car that feels engaging on country roads, while its five-door layout makes it more convenient for passengers and shopping than a three-door hatch. It can suit singles, couples or small families, though buyers should weigh an older performance-minded car against newer, more economical everyday choices. mycarcheck.com recorded just nine checks across four distinct VINs, a small sample, so treat the figures as indicative. Average recorded mileage was 71,000, with a £700 average private-sale valuation and about two previous keepers on average.
