The MG MGTF (2002-06) 2DR ROADSTER 1.8I 16V 135 COOL BLUE is a compact, two-seat British convertible, built for open-air driving rather than family duties. In the UK used-car market it sits among affordable, enthusiast-focused sports cars, offering a more characterful alternative to everyday hatchbacks and small SUVs. Mycarcheck.com records 196 look-ups covering 104 different VINs, giving a useful, though not complete, snapshot. Checked cars averaged 63,000 miles and around 2,000 miles a year; the average private-sale valuation was £1,400. The recorded average of about five and a half previous keepers suggests many have changed hands, so check service history and condition carefully. This lively 135 version suits couples, weekend drivers and enthusiasts who want a relatively accessible, engaging car, not commuting practicality or child-seat space. Its low annual mileage in checks fits occasional-use ownership. Compared with the popular Mazda MX-5, the MG TF is a less common choice with distinctively British appeal and an enjoyable, direct feel. The Cool Blue finish adds extra personality; as with any older roadster, inspect the roof, maintenance record and overall condition before buying. It is best viewed as a fun second car, rather than an all-rounder for busy everyday family life.
