Be kind please PH

Looking at buying MG ZS 180 facelift.
What do I need to look for heard about clutch and manifold being a pig after 50,000 and that there is a shortage of parts due to MG Rover being defunced.

Any knowledge welcome. I do realise that it is a design from early 90's which has just been tarted up for 10 years +, and at the end of the day it is still an fwd rover 400.

If you having nothing nice to say about it please recommend another vehicle of similar spec which I can afford to buy and insure for 5k (20 year old, 3 years no claims on company van, no points, no criminal convictions).

Thank you for your time, I'll try absorb that fountain of knowledge, if you don’t mind me asking how long did you keep yours for and was there any reason for selling?

No particular reason for saloon like the look of them been driving a berlingo van with two seats for 3 years after passing my test. I like the idea of having extra seats without mates having to getting and out 2doors. Also saw one the other day giving it some which made me start looking, I think they are also more achievable for me to get insured and buy then other ideas I’ve had. would use for work but at the moment I live on site and the van did all of 6 miles today and that’s only because I drove to get lunch.

For the amount of car you seem to be getting they seem excellent value for money, if you have someone like Mike at hand when things go wrong.
