    How much less is a 2023 MG4 worth without valid MG warranty?

    I guess the simple answer is it is impossible to say but possibly not a lot. When you read all of the exclusions the so called 7 year warranty doesn't actually cover very much. The only real way of knowing is at the point you make a claim and find out, which hopefully never happens. What would...

    A Cautionary Tale

    Glad you got her back safely! Many years ago my mother set off from home and the cat was on the roof without her knowing. At the junction about half a mile from home she accelerated briskly (Golf GTI!) and the cat flew off the back of the roof and promptly disappeared into a hedge. Fortunately...

    First MOT, phase one MG4s

    According to AI - Cars in the UK are significantly older than they were a decade ago. As of early 2026, the average car on the road is nearly 10 years old, a sharp increase from the roughly 7.5-year average seen in 2015–2016. I think that age of the car is more likely to be the most...

    Motor Fault – Consult Handbook

    If you have recently purchased this car second hand be very careful about how you proceed! An early member who will remain nameless (who was banned) had similar issues which were never resolved and rejected the car. If you go down this path you will need to make sure you do everything by the...

    SE SR failed at 60,000 miles Nearside Rear Service brake excessively fluctuating (1.2.1 (e)) Dealer did try and get me to do rear disks and pads at the 45,000 mile service about 9 months before the MOT.

    Brake light bulb replacement

    Agreed - or the electronics that drive it.

    Brake light bulb replacement

    Agreed and I think MG will try and wriggle out of it. AI definition - Traditional Bulb (Incandescent): These work by heating a tiny wire filament until it glows white-hot. It’s essentially a heater that happens to produce light as a byproduct. LED (Light Emitting Diode): This is a...

    V2L- to granny charge another EV?

    Will your V2L adapter work okay on the MG4 to boil a kettle (or some other appliance)?

    Charging to 100% How?

    Don't request a charge that will allow a lot more time to complete than actually needed. My SR will add approximately 13% charge per hour so if I want to add 50% it will take around 4 hours. In this case if you request 50% and a finish time much longer than 4 hours it allows IOG to do lots of...

    Range Improving with weather

    Looking back I think it is probably best to start the EV journey in winter, as then you have to manage and learn how often to charge and how to maximise the range, and it then becomes much easier when it warms up. I started my MG4 and EV journey 3 years ago last November and haven't regretted...

    Battery decline while driving

    You've had the best advice from @Rolfe and I'm another one with an SR with over 65k miles that finds the GOM very accurate and predictable. One additional proviso is that in cold weather if it starts off dry then starts raining mid way through a long journey it very quickly destroys your...

    Should I push for a software update?

    In simple terms you can't, apart from checking the infotainment version Rxx. All other modules can only be checked with specialist equipment.
