How the MG 4 SE compares
Ranked on pass rate, the MG 4 SE sits 33rd of 651 models in this data , and 2nd of the 11 MG models covered . MG as a whole averaged 86.03%, so this model runs 6.3 points ahead of its own brand average.
What this means when buying a used MG 4 SE
A pass rate is a population average, not a verdict on the specific car in front of you. The average MG 4 SE came to its 2025 test at 31,189 miles and 2.5 years old. Most examples tested were electric.
The useful check is the individual car's own MOT record: how many times it has failed, what for, and whether advisories keep reappearing. A recurring advisory on corrosion, suspension or brakes tells you far more than a model-wide average, and a mileage that does not move consistently between tests is a warning in itself.
