I have a 1100 from 2007 and am very happy with it. If you can test ride it, listen to the noise it makes at idle in neutral when warm or when driving with very little throttle. Some of the them have an issue with the face cam shock absorber that do not have enough shims, resulting in noises from the gearbox region when unloaded or when switching from load to overrun. If this one has it and the noise does not bother you and you trust MG that it's not a safety issue, then go for it, I love my 1100.
