Coolant change reprieve for low milers.

[Kithmo]

I was looking for info on how long OAT coolant lasts on google when I came across this MG servicing info page.
It seems, if you are a low mileage user the 4th year coolant change on EVs is postponed to the 5th year instead.

What qualifies for 'low mileage' ?

Is that not for the models yet to come? The schedule for the 2019/2020 models still show the same 4 year timing...

Lower down the 2019/2020 cars don’t have the low mileage option. I think it may be 2021 cars onwards. Some EV’s have coolant for the life of the car, so I don’t think it’s that critical anyway - but keeps the warranty I suppose.

Perhaps it shows that there’s a new ZS EV on the way in the UK in 2021...

Is the coolant that expensive waterless coolant?

 

[Chrispydoc]

no

Unlikely they’d release the service schedule first. More likely they’re about to sell a ton of them to a big fleet who want to keep them for 4 years but not pay the cost of the 4th service

How long are Motability leases typically?

10K or less

2020 MG5 has the low mileage option so I wonder why the ZS doesn't ?

With all the coolant system, fans, radiators etc, would it save juice connecting the heaters to that?
