Quick summary

Total: 107 cars

The MG HS from 2019 has an overall defect rate of 109 per 100 vehicles, which is slightly higher than the average of 106 per 100 for cars of the same year, indicating a 2% increase in defects. Notably, it performs significantly better in the visibility and body/structure categories, with defects in these areas at 8% and 1% respectively, compared to the average of 14% and 3%. However, the model shows a concerning trend in brake defects, registering 107% compared to the average of 60%. Mileage-related data reveals that as the mileage increases, the defect rate also rises, though the MG HS maintains a similar pattern to the average car in higher mileage segments. Overall, while it excels in specific categories, the increased brake defect rate is a key area of concern for this model.
