Used MG ZT

Known for its sharp handling and sporty character, it’s a car that delivers a rewarding drive while remaining rooted in everyday usability. The MG ZT arrived in 2001 aiming to offer a more driver-focused version of the Rover 75, available as saloon and estate (ZT-T), with production ceasing in 2005. Designed to rival models like the BMW 3 Series Touring and Honda Accord Tourer, it features firmer suspension, bolder looks, lively engines, a spacious cabin, agile handling, good standard equipment, and a surprisingly large boot. It remains popular on the used market as a distinctive, practical choice with character.

Pros

Sharp handling
Distinctive styling
Spacious interior and boot

Cons

Thirsty petrol V6 engines
Some parts can be harder to source
Known for specific reliability issues

What are the key safety features of the MG ZT?

The MG ZT came with a good set of safety features for its day, including multiple airbags, ABS and traction control. Later models have improved crash structures and safety measures. As an older model, these features are fairly basic by today's standards. Be sure to always check that all safety systems are in working order on a used example.
What engine options are available with the MG ZT?

The engines are the same in saloon and estate versions of the ZT, and they include a 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol, a 2.5-litre V6 petrol, a 4.6-litre V8, and a highly regarded 2.0-litre diesel. The diesel offers the best blend of economy and flexibility.
What are the standard technology and infotainment features in the MG ZT?

The ZT was well equipped for its time, typically offering climate control, electric windows, remote locking and decent stereos as standard. Higher trims can include leather seats, cruise control and upgraded audio – though keep in mind that the infotainment will feel basic by modern standards.
What is the fuel consumption of the MG ZT?

Fuel consumption varies depending on engine choice and driving style. Expect an official figure of around 21–48 mpg across the range, though V6 and V8 models are notably less economical in real-world use, while diesel models tend to be more frugal.
What should I check when buying a used MG ZT?

Look for evidence of proper servicing, especially for head gasket issues on 1.8 models and clutch wear on diesels. Check for even tyre wear, functioning electrics and any suspension knocks. The AA Vehicle Inspection is especially useful for peace of mind.
Are MG ZT cars reliable?

While the ZT is often cited as the best-built MG of its era, there are some reported issues such as cooling system failures on 1.8 engines and occasional suspension wear. Many owners report solid reliability if well maintained, but it’s a car that rewards regular care and attention.
