    MG5 - smashing!

    It was an ex demo June/July 2023 reg. I got it at 6 months old with just over 4k miles on the clock for a very good price, and at time of incident it had a little over 20k on the clock. I could have had a loan car but I turned it down on the basis we have a functioning 2009 Disco 3 I drive when...

    Sorry, it was in "reply" to the sad face emoji rather than any message. Feel free to delete it.

    MG5 - smashing!

    Well, it (the MG5 EV) has a 5 star Euro NCAP rating. That's as much as I knew. After a few iterations, judicious choice of Google search terms ("front end structure of MG5 ICE and EV differences") to avoid a proliferation of MG5 EV "facelift" results came up with the following: MG5 EV...

    MG5 - smashing!

    Seeing as the OP hasn't answered/is perhaps no longer around to answer, I thought it may be illuminating to update everyone on my situation as it stands. My car was delivered to my insurer-approved accident repair centre on Monday. Between then and early Tuesday afternoon it underwent...

    MG5 - smashing!

    No, and that makes me think I'll get one for each of our vehicles in future! But there was a witness following the Disco S. So with that and the photos and an aftermath video I hope there won't be any issues with liability.

    MG5 - smashing!

    Too bloody true @MG Clive Best car I've driven. Even better than my 2009 Disco 3 that's still chugging along when I need it (like now!)

    MG5 - smashing!

    Seeing as I've just had a similar issue, I thought I'd resurrect this ancient thread. If the OP is still around, was it considered repairable and how long did it take to get it back if it was? I got hit by a Discovery Sport (semi-blind left-hand bend, Disco S on wrong side of an unclassified...

    MG5 Confused over update versions

    For the avoidance of doubt, it has to be a 'Tesla Public Supercharger'. Their locations will obviously be available in the Tesla app, but if you have Zapmap (and probably be available in other similar apps) you can get the locations of these Tesla Public Superchargers by choosing the filter (the...

    MG5 Android Auto not working

    @Alibro Each to their own, especially if you can't get AA to work for you. But I have no problem with the Google Maps resolution on the MG's screen. It's as good as on my mobile screen to my eyes. As to the apps shown and their order, these can be customised within AA on your phone/in car...

    MG5 Android Auto not working

    Just thought I'd chime in on this old thread. I've had the MG5 FL for just short of a year. I tried to get Android Auto (AA) working as soon as I had the car, using various (data transfer) leads over months, but got no joy, going round, and round, …, in circles. I was on the point of going the...

    Having some major issues with my mg5

    I think @Lovemyev's first line indicates the likely culprit. A short time after I took delivery of my FL MG5 – during the initial 'get to know your new car phase', when you look into every nook and cranny – I noticed I had something very similar in the boot (though nowhere near as much as in...

    Check HV battery

    @Gomev is quite right. You can generate all manner of 'funny' issues by too quick a start up. Only rarely does it seem to be the same reported error though. Front camera not working, collision avoidance not working, ... Must make a list. Doesn't bode well for the quick getaway when you are being...

    Utterly unbelievable customer support! Anyone from MG like to comment?

    I was thinking those prices perhaps included labour, but then I had a closer look at the invoice and labour is charged separately. I know the battery (presumably a C2032) was subsequently credited (so zero cost on invoice), but that's at least a pound over the odds; and the oil (£34/L from B&G)...
