Price range
P75 → P25 of asking — the middle half of listings at that age sits inside this band. Outliers above and below excluded.
Down payment
MAS Notice 642 LTV cap applied to the age's median asking: 30% when OMV is up to S$20k, 40% above. Max loan tenure 7 years. Rows marked * mix both OMV buckets — we display the conservative 40% figure so the quote never under-states what a luxury-OMV listing at that age would actually require.
Availability
High when this age's listing share is ≥1.5× the model's uniform expectation, low when ≤0.6×, medium otherwise. Model-relative, so an evenly-spread model lands all-medium.

Brand reliability
Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
Resale strength
100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
Peer set
Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.
Quadrants
The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

Verdict

Chinese-built SAIC SUV — What Car? PHEV 44/76 + petrol 61/76 family SUVs. Reliability is the dominant negative signal: infotainment freezes, 12V battery drain pattern (similar to BYD Atto 3), noisy clutch release bearing, premature rear brake disc wear, PHEV with May 2023 fire-risk recall (5,100+ units, misplaced carpet underlay affecting electrical ground stud). PHEV mid-speed acceleration 'hole' is a documented driveability quirk. SG market mainly sees these as value family SUVs — the value proposition is real but the reliability paper trail is essential.

What's good

  • Post-2023 build with the May 2023 PHEV fire-risk recall closed via VIN — the fire-risk recall is safety-critical. SAIC issued the recall; verify via MG dealer VIN check. Combined with later-build refinements, the cleanest used HS pick.
  • A recent 12V battery swap plus documented infotainment software refresh — the two cheapest preventive items that address the most-recurring complaints. Receipts > seller stories on any MG HS at 3+ years old.

What to watch

  • PHEV/+EV fire risk — carpet underlay chafes a ground stud; thousands of units were recalled — fire-risk recall. Walking without verifying recalls closed is uncritical; many alternatives exist. SAIC free repair via VIN.
  • Infotainment freezing or 12V battery drain showing up at viewing — the two most-recurring HS complaints. Both software-fixable in many cases but reproducible at viewing means paperwork-essential. Repeated dealer visits are the giveaway.

Common questions about the MG Hs

How much does a used MG Hs cost in Singapore?
Most used MG Hs on the market are around 6 years old, asking roughly S$82k–S$86k (typically about S$84k). That's the age with the widest choice — and the most sellers competing, so it's where you'll have the most room to bargain.
Is the MG Hs reliable?
In our read, the MG Hs scores 60 out of 100 on brand reliability. That still varies by generation and how the individual car was looked after, so always check the service history before you commit.
What should I expect to pay for a used MG Hs with a given mileage?
It depends on the exact variant, age and mileage — a higher-mileage car should ask less. Use the price modeller on this page to get a fair-price range for a specific age and mileage, so you know what to offer.
Where do these MG Hs figures come from?
They're worked out from current used-MG Hs listings in Singapore — asking prices, mileage and registration years — not past transaction prices. We refresh them regularly, and we flag thin data rather than guess.
