After 18 months, almost certainly losing the £2.5K government grant due to the massive delay, and having cycled through two other EVs & a diesel 4x4 during that time we have finally given up on our MG ZS EV Trophy Connect.
The same day that we decided to call it quits our MG dealer rang to tell us our car should be arriving soon, which was spectacularly bad timing.
The almost certain loss of the grant along with the massively higher cost of finance means that what was a £350 a month car was looking more like a £550+ a month car; we now have an eight year old Leaf and a five year old Evoque that between them cost less per month including running costs.
We placed our order the day that the order books opened back in November 2021, it took a few days to sort out the paperwork for a trade-in as part deposit but I have seen the dealer's order book and they placed the order to MG on the first day...
This whole sorry episode has really left a bad taste in my mouth; I have championed MG EVs before but after this I don't think I can ever recommend MG again.
