Loved the MG5 and had our eyes on one of the last ones left at Chorley Motors Blackpool branch. Unfortunately it went a couple of days before we were told ours was written off. We'd looked at the MG4 but insurance was higher. It's also a bit of a hike to the dealership for us. I'd seen other...

Well the insurers said it was repairable and I was told to hang on to the courtesy car until the repair was done. So I filled up with petrol only to receive a call saying they'd now deemed it a write off and my courtesy car would need to be handed back in 24 hours. Cue urgent car search and am...

I'm with you there - I loved the luggage humping capacity of the 5 estate 💪

26k miles 71 plate. Ex demo when new to us and still the "new" car

Yes - they're quoting over £9 grand for a repair and I'm expecting the insurers to come back with some derisory offer Monday 😉

Thanks - no injuries is the main thing 👍

More damage than I thought. Tailgate pushed out, roof dented . Driveable back to Yorkshire but it's certainly an Insurance job

No - we are visiting friends in Scotland for Burns night. His car was next to mine and escaped without a scratch

Unwanted modifications Following on from Storm Eowyn my poor MG5 has taken a turn for the worse. I'm hoping it will be driveable but am a bit concerned about getting it out 😕

I've also got the Ohme Home pro but wish I'd had Octopus to install it rather than using Solarstyle. Customer support is far better with Octopus 👍

I'm looking to SORN my MG5 in March then apply for 12 months tax straight away. Hoping to get another "free" year out of them ......

Yes - I was really surprised to find the dealer had stuck the addendum in the relevant page of the little handbook when it went in for it's first service 💪

We've a similar property. I installed batteries and inverter under the stairs and charge up overnight. Works well BUT I now realise it would have been far more cost effective to just use the capacity of the car battery - in fact would have been cheaper to upgrade to a LR vehicle as 7kWh of...

Insurance has gone crazy. My renewal quote from Aviva Zero was over £100 more than the policy I took out with esure at £370. £69 of this is for no claims protection. MG5, eternity of no claims aged 68 in rural West Yorkshire. Other offers (on Meerkat site) we're mainly £450 to £1000+
