Limited data — recalls on file
NHTSA has just 0 complaints on file for the 1976 M & G Midget — too few to judge reliability from owner reports alone — but 2 recall campaigns apply to this year, so any used example should have its VIN checked for completed recall work.

NCAP overall
2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.
Defect
THE FUEL PIPE BRACKETS MOUNTED IN THE CYLINDER HEAD REAR STUD HAVE BEEN MISALIGNED ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES. AS A RESULT, THE NYLON FUEL FEED PIPE MAY SUSTAIN CHAFING AND FEED PIPE DAMAGE.
Remedy
THE DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, CORRECT THE ALIGNMENT OF THE FUEL PIPE BRACKET. IF DAMAGED, THE FUEL PIPE WILL ALSO BE REPLACED.
The record is thin — 0 NHTSA complaints — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 2 recalls should be verified as completed.
Yes — NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns affecting the 1976 M & G Midget. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers; check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm the work was done.
