High Miles?

[leafowner]

Now that the 5 has been around for a while, just wondering if anyone has done reasonably high miles yet? Any issues come up?

Hi, six months and 7.5k miles, mainly home charging. Still love driving it.

Mines is the ZS EV, over 24000 trouble free motoring, really happy with my MG.

8 weeks, 8.5k miles

MG 5 No real issues except this last couple of days I've got the HV battery cut off a couple of times randomly when switching on.

Just make sure the brake pedal is fully down when you push the start button it maybe that, I had on a few occasions where I was being to quick.

Just under 15k after 8 months, going for it's first service in 2 weeks.... we'll see if any extras come out of the quoted service cost. Had no issues with the car, just with the home charger scheduled start times not working reliable to start with but resolve if plugged in <4 hours before schedule charge over night

I'm surprised that noone has done 30+ yet.
I thought the 5 would be an ideal taxi?

Seeing as traffic only got back to normal in last month and everyone panicking about fuel deliveries.... 5 will start to picked up more and more

There's a few taxi drivers on the FB group and done some big miles 1pK+ IIRC and happy, probably even more now with the fuel chaos

I bought mine to be a taxi. Start using it early next month

Mine has just clocked up 10k in just under 6 months, we're barely out of it, and the diesel bills for our A5 Tdi and Outlander 2.3 diesel are a fraction of what they used to be!
Electricity prices are sky rocketing though, I'll be keeping an eye out after October 10th for the best tariff as all the cheap providers have gone bust

Just ticked over 18,000 miles had one of the first ones delivered in December. No issues so far, tyres are getting low but will doing 450 miles a week on motorway they're going to be.

Have seen 5-6 in London as taxis.
