2016 MG3 1.5 VTi TECH 3Style 5-door hatchback manual

Description

So, I’ve had this 2016 MG3 for a few years now, and honestly, it’s been one of the most reliable little cars I’ve ever driven. It’s got just 36k miles on it, which for a car this age is pretty solid. I bought it new and it’s been with only two owners since — that means it’s had a clean history check, no big surprises.

The 1.5-litre petrol engine isn’t flashy, but it’s smooth and gets the job done. I’ve used it for commuting and weekend trips, and it handles city driving well. It’s got Bluetooth for calls and music, rear parking sensors (which I’ve actually used quite a bit thanks to tight spaces), and automatic headlights that turn on when it gets dark — super handy.

I’ve got the air conditioning running all the time, especially in summer, and it’s been pretty reliable. The car also has ESP, safety belt pretensioners, and all that — nothing fancy, but it’s solid for safety and comfort.

It’s not a sports car, but it’s got a good balance of practicality and fuel economy. Insurance is low, which is a plus, and the 0-60 time is around 10.4 seconds — not a sprint, but it’s not slow either.

I’m moving to Liphook, East Hampshire, so I’m not going to be using it much in the next few months. I’ve been thinking about selling it because I’ve just picked up a different one for my daily use.

It’s a bit of a niche car, but it’s been dependable and I’ve actually grown quite fond of it. If you’re looking for something reliable, low-mileage, and not too flashy — this one might be worth a look.

Price is £4,174.20 — I’ll be honest, it’s not cheap, but it’s been well looked after and I think it’s a solid value for someone who wants a practical, easy-to-drive hatchback.

It’s currently parked in Liphook, East Hampshire, so if you’re local, it’s not too far.
