Used MG MG5 for sale

You’ll find all the essential safety tech: automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist and multiple airbags. Facelifted models also add blind spot monitoring and a bundle of driver assistance features known as MG Pilot. While the MG5 hasn’t been tested by Euro NCAP yet, it shares some of its platform with the highly rated MG4, which may offer some reassurance.

The MG5 is purely electric. Earlier models (2020–2021) use a 52.5 kWh battery with around 214 miles of range. If you're looking at newer used examples, you’ll likely come across the facelifted Long Range version from 2022, which uses a 57.4 kWh battery and offers up to 250 miles (WLTP). It’s great for commuting, family trips or simply cutting fuel bills.

All models include a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB radio and Bluetooth. Newer versions have built-in sat nav, AC, rear parking sensors and a reversing camera. If you go for a higher trim, you’ll also enjoy things like heated seats, a 360-degree parking camera and keyless entry – all features that make day-to-day driving easier.

Since the MG5 is fully electric, it doesn’t use petrol or diesel. Instead, you’ll be looking at how far it can go on a charge. In the real world, you can expect between 180–220 miles depending on how and where you drive. Cold weather, motorways and heavy use of the heater can affect that, but if you plan ahead, it’s easy to work around.

Look for a full service history, and carefully check the infotainment system and electric features for glitches. Some owners have reported minor faults with the dashboard or charging system, so don’t be afraid to take your time during the test drive. Booking The AA Vehicle Inspection can give you added peace of mind, especially around battery health and charging performance.

Overall, the MG5 has earned solid marks from many owners for reliability. Some drivers have reported issues with electronics or servicing wait times, but the seven-year MG warranty (which transfers to new owners) adds a lot of reassurance.
