Great stuff and glad this is useful. Mine arrived in less then a week.

I thought I’d share this in case it helps anyone else. My recently purchased MG5 Trophy arrived without the locking pin on the charge‑port cover. When I mentioned it during a service visit, MG quoted £180 to replace the entire cover assembly, even though the only thing missing was the small...

Just to wrap up this thread: the car had its 2‑year service today. The locks/locking mechanisms were confirmed to be faulty, so all 3 passenger locks are being replaced under warranty, parts are now on order. A good outcome overall. The service inspection video looked fine: no damage, plenty...

Thanks I've taken it to MG Leeds already, they've confirmed it's a known fault and, fixable under warranty, they are going to look at the latches properly when I have the car in for service on the 9th. It seems to be passenger side front and rear doors. It's intermittent sometimes the door...

Charged up to 100% for the first time today, just as a one off, as I've some long journeys to cover over the next two days. On eco mode with the trip computer reset it's giving me 244 miles range. Does that sound about right for the Trophy?

It was 5 degrees on return leg and on setting off the windscreen was frozen , but it got me there and back and that distance will be the usual long journey range journey, so I feel like I can make it work as long as I can charge at my destination for the return leg. In about 2 weeks I'm driving...

Thanks I'll give this a try next time I chargr.

Thanks that's handy to know, I made it ok to Birmingham with about 55 miles spare, but drove at 60 most of the way. I only had 74% battery on the return leg as the 7kw blink charger at work seemed to trickle slower then I expected. I drove a bit quicker on the return leg at 70mph and made it...

The journey's about 110 miles I think, then I can leave it on a 22kW charger at the park and do the return leg back later. I'll probably drive at 60 most of the way just to be safe as it'll be my first long drive. I only bought the car up a week ago, so it might be judging my driving range on...

Sounds like you got a good deal there, maybe they did this as you were buying the car from new.

Yeah that's what I thought, they specifically said the below : "Normally missing a service would invalidate the warranty on other brands however with MG your warranty is still valid. However, if an issue occurs and its deemed to be something related to the servicing of your vehicle it may not...

Quick update: I couldn’t get much out of Tusker other than a 12v battery inspection, so, it looks like I won’t be able to trace the full service history, if it has any. I spoke to MG directly, and they confirmed that while my warranty is technically valid, any issues deemed to be caused by a...

Feels like something will catch me out but we'll see, I might get lucky and it's all bang on.

Thanks that all makes sense, and I'm just going to have to see what I can get hold off from tusker, I've a number from their service and maintenance team and I've read that it's a regular thing for them to provide the service and maintenance details, once they've sold the lease car on. It looks...

Thanks, I see what you’re saying. When I part-exchanged mine on Wednesday, I passed all the paperwork and full history over to the branch. I think I’m just a bit behind the times, when they told me there was no physical logbook because it was tracked digitally by the dealer, I just assumed I'd...
