The MG ZS (2001-05) ZS+ 4DR SALOON 1.8 120 STEP AUTO6 is a compact four-door family saloon from MG’s early-2000s range. It combines practical everyday space with sportier styling and a more engaging character than many ordinary small family cars. In today’s UK used market, it is a niche, older alternative to familiar family cars such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. Mycarcheck.com has recorded six checks covering five different VINs, so the figures are a small snapshot rather than a broad market average. Those records show an average private-sale valuation of £600, average recorded mileage of 94,000 miles, around 3,000 miles driven annually and five previous keepers on average. These details can help set expectations, but each car’s condition and history matter more. The automatic suits commuting, while the ZS’s firmer, sportier feel gives it more personality than comfort-first rivals. It best fits enthusiasts or households seeking affordable character.
