Early-August 2026 used-car data
The MG ZS takes first place
The one-to-three-year-old petrol-hybrid MG ZS led the complete ranking, taking 13.5 days to sell on average. It was the only car in the top 10 to average less than two weeks.
Drivers considering a brand-new model can also explore today's MG ZS Hybrid+. SE models include a 12.3-inch colour touchscreen, rear parking camera, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, satellite navigation and MG Pilot driver-assistance technology, including blind-spot detection. Trophy adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and a 360-degree camera.
The headline is the breadth of MG's appeal: one hybrid SUV, one electric hatchback and one petrol SUV all reached the top five.
MG4 takes third
The used MG4 EV took third place with an average of 17 days to sell. That matched the 17-day average of the second-place Polestar 2, with both cars forming part of a strong showing for used electric vehicles.
Electric cars accounted for six of the top 10 and averaged 25 days to sell, compared with 30 days for the wider used market. Three-to-five-year-old electric cars moved faster still, averaging 20 days.
MG HS follows in fifth
The one-to-three-year-old petrol MG HS placed fifth at 18 days. It is another strong result for a practical MG SUV and gives buyers a second MG option inside the top five.
Used stock changes regularly, so if a particular car catches your eye, it is worth checking its availability with the Invicta team.
