Question 2

What are common problems with a 2019 MG HS in NZ?

Accepted Answer

7-speed DCT low-speed behaviour; 1.5T vs 2.0 AWD vs PHEV mix-ups; Oil use and turbo on the 1.5; Infotainment and 12V drain. Check the year guide for detail and inspect these on any car you are considering.

Question 3

What should I check when buying a used 2019 MG HS in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Identify 1.5 FWD, 2.0 AWD or PHEV and test that drivetrain specifically (including a charge on PHEV). Cold DCT test: carparks, speed humps, hill starts. Any violent shunt needs a specialist opinion. Check oil level, service stamps and 95-octane receipts on 1.5T. Test AEB prompts, cameras, dual-zone climate and both phone projections. Request as much service history as possible — regular servicing matters more than promises from the seller. Run a PPSR check and review WOF history before buying. Check remaining MG factory warranty against the VIN and whether services were in-network. Compare condition and service records across listings — the best-value example is often the best-kept one, not the cheapest.

Question 4

Is the 2019 MG HS a good used buy in New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

The 2019 MG HS is the first-generation medium SUV sold in New Zealand from November 2019. The volume car is a 1.5-litre turbo with a seven-speed dual-clutch and front-wheel drive (NZ road tests quote 125kW/275Nm and 6.9L/100km on later cars). From 2021 NZ also received 2.0-litre turbo AWD (169kW/360Nm, six-speed DCT) and a plug-in hybrid at $52,990 new, claiming 63km of EV range.
