Model-specific DVSA data not separately available; figure shown is MG's overall brand average, the fourth highest of any major brand, for context.
What to know
There's no MG3-specific figure in the DVSA dataset used across this site, so MG's overall brand average of 80.8% is shown instead, the fourth highest of any major brand sold in the UK, ahead of BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz.
MG offers one of the longest manufacturer warranties in the industry on new cars, and this strong MOT data suggests the brand's rapid UK sales growth hasn't come at the expense of reliability, at least by this measure. A genuinely useful data point if you're considering the MG3 against more established rivals on badge reputation alone.
