Description

Enjoyable to drive and economical to run, this MG3 delivers a lively feel from its 1.5 VTi‑TECH engine while remaining easy to live with around town. The light steering and compact hatch profile make it simple to manoeuvre in tight spaces, while the manual gearbox gives an involving drive when you want it.

Practical for daily life, the five‑door layout and folding rear seats add useful load flexibility, and the cabin is comfortable for short and longer journeys. With a fresh MOT and recent service, it presents a straightforward, well cared for option for a first car or a budget‑conscious commuter.
