MG Scrap Prices 2026: Get Cash for Your Old ZS or HS

MG—short for Morris Garages—has undergone one of the most remarkable transformations in automotive history. Once a quintessentially British sports car brand, MG is now a Chinese‑owned marque that has become a major player in the Australian market. From the affordable ZS and HS SUVs to the electric MG4, MG has carved out a loyal following among value‑conscious buyers.

In 2026, MG is thriving. The brand recorded 4,284 sales in July 2026, capturing a 4.1 per cent market share and ranking tenth overall in the Australian market. This represents a 42.4 per cent year‑on‑year increase. In August 2026, MG delivered 4,767 vehicles, maintaining its position as one of Australia's top‑selling brands. Year‑to‑date, MG has sold approximately 32,197 vehicles, with Chinese brands—including BYD, GWM, MG, Geely, and Chery—now accounting for 24.5 per cent of the combined August market.

According to data from the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI), MG's success is driven by its affordable SUVs and growing electric lineup. The brand's strong value proposition and increasing model range have made it a popular choice among Australian families and first‑time buyers.

But what happens when your trusted MG finally reaches the end of the road? The good news is that even a non‑running, damaged, or scrap MG still holds significant value—often more than you'd expect.

Why MG commands scrap prices

The secret lies in parts demand and MG's growing popularity. MG components are increasingly sought after by mechanics, families, and DIY enthusiasts across the country. The ZS and HS, in particular, have created growing ecosystems of used parts buyers, meaning your old car—even if it no longer starts—can still fetch solid cash.

MG ZS – MG's best‑selling SUV and a favourite among Australian families. The ZS has been a consistent performer for the brand, and its popularity means a growing, high‑demand market for used parts. Engines, transmissions, suspension components, and body panels are all increasingly sought after.

MG HS – A mid‑size SUV that offers a compelling blend of space, style, and value. HS parts are in steady demand, and even a non‑running HS can yield attractive scrap value.

MG4 – MG's electric hatchback that has been gaining traction in 2026. As more MG4s hit the roads, demand for their parts—particularly battery packs and electric motors—is expected to grow.

MG3 – MG's affordable hatchback that has been a favourite among first‑time buyers. MG3 parts are in steady demand, and even a non‑running MG3 can yield solid scrap value.

MG5 – MG's electric wagon that offers a practical and affordable entry point into the EV market. MG5 parts are increasingly sought after.

According to industry data, MG vehicles are starting to hold their value well in the scrap market because of the brand's growing popularity and the increasing demand for used parts.

The bigger picture: Australia's end‑of‑life vehicle challenge

Every year, approximately 850,000 motor vehicles reach the end of their life in Australia, generating around 1.36 million tonnes of waste. Currently, the industry recovers about 70 per cent of this waste—primarily through reusable parts and recyclable metals—but that still leaves a substantial amount destined for landfill.

This is where responsible car removal businesses like AK Cash for Cars play a vital role. By recycling end‑of‑life vehicles properly, we help reduce landfill waste and ensure that valuable materials—and in‑demand MG parts—are recovered and put back into circulation.

As highlighted in research by the FCAI and the Motor Trades Association of Australia (MTAA), Australia's vehicle recycling industry faces several challenges, including a fragmented recycling sector and insufficient processing options for non‑metal materials.

By choosing AK Cash for Cars for your old MG, you're not just getting cash in your pocket—you're also contributing to a more sustainable automotive recycling industry in Australia.
