Just as a matter of interest what faults are appearing on 23 Plate MG4’s? Are they less than the 72 plate ones. Just wondering if a lot of the issues that popped up with them have now been resolved.
Do a bit of research on dealers because a good one makes all the difference and go for a test drive if you haven't already.That’s good to hear. I’m really interested in getting the Trophy. I currently have a Corsa Griffin which has a good spec and to try and replicate that plus a little bit more besides then the Trophy is the one for me.
I have been enjoying the threads on here and doing my research and the MG 4 looking at YouTube is full of good reviews for it.
I would agree, although I doubt that many of us have a choice of more than one within a half-hour drive for regular and occasional use.Do a bit of research on dealers because a good one makes all the difference
IIRC, the Corsa Griffin was an end-of-line clearance model, where Vauxhall emptied the options list into the standard car.That’s good to hear. I’m really interested in getting the Trophy.

No faults on mine per se, although I do have the same bugs in the software that others have - bluetooth connectivity, CarPlay occasional reboots, etc...
ACC seems to work well on dual carriageways and motorways but gets confused by oncoming traffic on single carriageways, so I turn it off.
I disable the speed limit recognition each journey and disable LKA if I am travelling on the Devon lanes.
Once in a while the SOS phone errors but it resets pretty quickly.
These are all minor annoyances slowly being fixed by updates.
I think it's when it can't connect to the phone signal but as soon as it picks up a new mast it corrects itself.I think my wife may have got the SOS error yesterday. I wasn't in the car. How exactly does it manifest? She struggled to explain it, I think mainly because it was a shortlived message and she was driving at the time.
It can do an amber or a red fault, shown by an icon (phone I think) in the drivers screen an accompanied by a scary sounding mesage about SOS system failure.I think my wife may have got the SOS error yesterday.

Sometimes I get the amber then the red, sometimes just the amber. It seems related to signal but also doesn't reliably fail in the same places, so I am pretty sure it buggy. Fairly soon after the system resets and then it is fine.
I have had it maybe 5 times in 2 months.
They did extend the Griffin to other models after. There was talk about them having a Corsa Griffin electric as well. The current Corsa E hasn’t got as great a range as the MG4.IIRC, the Corsa Griffin was an end-of-line clearance model, where Vauxhall emptied the options list into the standard car.
It’s reassuring to hear that most of the faults have been resolved with the latter models. I haven’t yet had a test drive but I have visited my local showroom and sat in the trophy and had a good chat with the salesman about the car. I am not at the point of purchasing yet.It appears any cars built November 2022 onwards have been devoid of most of the faults that are plaguing the earlier built ones. As tsedge (who has beaten me to it again) says there are the odd software faults which are slowly being rectified by updates.
