The 2014 MG 6 falls slightly below the UK average with a 77.2% pass rate versus 80%, but the real concern is that nearly half of these vehicles (48.3%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—well above acceptable levels for a buyer considering one. Petrol versions are moderately more reliable than diesels, with pass rates of 78.8% versus 75.1%, though neither inspires confidence.
These cars are averaging 51,000 miles at test time, which is reasonable for a ten-year-old, but they're racking up 2.54 failures per test and 16.7 advisories, suggesting recurring maintenance headaches. Before committing to a 2014 MG 6, get a full pre-purchase inspection focusing on the systems that typically fail these vehicles—suspension, brakes, and emissions are the usual culprits—and factor in the higher-than-average servicing costs that the advisory pattern implies.
The 2014 MG 6 has a decent first-time pass rate (77.2%), but a higher-than-average share of vehicles have had serious defects recorded — the individual vehicle's history matters a lot here.
These stats describe 518 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
