The MG ZR (2001-05) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 105 is a small five-door hatchback from the sporty end of the UK supermini market. With its youthful styling and compact size, it offers more attitude than an ordinary family runabout while keeping the useful shape and easy parking of a hatchback. Mycarcheck.com records 85 checks across 68 distinct VINs, giving a useful snapshot of this older used-car choice. The average private-sale valuation was £700, while average recorded mileage was 79,000 miles and annual mileage 4,000. Checks showed nearly five previous keepers on average, so condition and service history matter more than the badge alone. The 1.4-litre 105 suits commuting and first-time drivers seeking an alternative to a Ford Fiesta or Vauxhall Corsa. Five doors help with passengers and shopping, but it is an ageing car, not a modern family favourite. Its sporty look and lively feel stand out; inspect carefully before buying.
