Our inspections find mechanical faults — engine, gearbox, suspension or steering — on 31% of MG 3s, against the 10% we would expect for hatchbacks of this age and mileage in the Kingdom, and electrical or electronics faults on 15% against the 5% we would expect for the same class of car. That is a real gap, and it is why buyers new to the brand should read the individual inspection report closely rather than judge the car by badge alone. A Hyundai Accent at similar money still shows its own weakness, with prior body or panel repair on 64% of cars against a 51% expectation for the segment.
