MG5 for £3950 What's the catch ? Or just the cheapest

[Black estate]

There's a 21 plt Excite on Auto trader with the price £3950, so what's the catch apart from 121000 miles and being a taxi ?

Bargain basement Ev if you don't mind the milage

Great price and it doesn't look to bad.
It had 3 MOT'S last year?
Love to see what the SOH is

Taxi's require them every 6 months, so prob not that significant.

£3950 for a 52kWh storage battery sounds tempting too, but I don't think anyone has reverse engineered the MG BMS yet

Looks like a real bargain.
Ex Taxi will definitely knock down the value.

There may well not be a catch.

Having looked at the listing, seems like a bargain, sellers being open with info, yes a taxi but wouldn’t be an issue at the asking price, mind you I’d be haggling

Seems like a bargain. I'm sure it has many years of life left in it.

However, I'd give it a sniff before going ahead. A lot of drunk people are sick in taxis. Drivers might know the tricks to clean it out I suppose.

There's something called a "bomb" that dealers use to fumigate minging cars, that would probably do it if there's a problem.
