Quick summary
Total: 13,363 cars
The 2022 MG HS has an overall defect rate of 69 defects per 100 vehicles, which is slightly better than the average of 70 defects per 100 vehicles for cars of the same year. Notably, the MG HS performs exceptionally well in categories like steering, visibility, and body structure, showing significantly lower defect rates compared to the average. However, it has a concerning issue with brakes, where it records 74 defects per 100 vehicles, far exceeding the average of 30 defects. Mileage trends indicate that defect rates increase with higher mileage, particularly in the 62,000 to 93,000 miles range, but the MG HS remains competitive with lower defect rates in the initial mileage bracket. Overall, while it excels in some areas, attention to brake performance is needed for this model.
