MG3 - Safety & reliability
Strong safety scores are predicted, but question marks over the brand’s low Driver Power result
MG didn’t fare well as a brand in our 2023 Driver Power customer satisfaction surveys. The brand finished last in the manufacturers' category, with one-third of owners reporting a fault of some sort.
Euro NCAP has yet to test the MG3, but the last car in its range tested was the MG4, which scored the maximum five stars in 2022, so we expect it to perform well. Plenty of safety features come as standard, such as adaptive cruise control and a lane-keep assistance system. The top-of-the-range Trophy trim adds a blind spot monitoring system to warn you of vehicles alongside you when you indicate to change lanes on a motorway.

Warranty
All MG models come with a seven-year/80,000-mile warranty, which is more generous than the three-year/60,000-mile warranty for the Clio but can’t quite match the up to 10-year/100,000-mile warranty available with the Yaris.
Servicing
Servicing for the MG3 hybrid is required every 12 months or 15,000 miles, whichever comes soonest.
