IM6 Insurance

[NikLiverpool]

Hi all,

Apologies if I am becoming tiresome with spamming updates on insurance.

So it appears Hastings started provided quotes for me. £900 for 10k miles per year with 1k being business use.
Not bad. For content I am 44, Liverpool postcode, 14 years NCD, wife included (13 years NCD).

Ok I am really happy now

Cant argue with this.

Don’t Hasting require telematics in the car?

Definitely more underwriters offing IM6 insurance now.

Hastings telematics was 560.
This one is not telematics, it was 900 and the picture I attached is the multicar discount.

Had a call from my dealer to say my IM6 had arrived. Just sorted out the insurance. My Ioniq 5 is with Saga and they quoted £508 for my IM6 Long Range - £31 less than I paid for the I5!

I got the quote yesterday for 18 Dec but wanted to move it forward a day. Called SAGA and theysaid the new quote would by £560….. so I left it to start on 18 Dec. My dealer also offers 1 day free Driveaway Insurance.

Worked out nicely.

Be careful if you are looking at SAGA insurance, i have just had a long chat with them and a condition of the insurance you have to have a Thatcham Category 1 alarm, i sort of assumed the Im6 would be but nowhere is it mentioned, even SAGA couldn't confirm and said they suspected it wasn't. I backed out in the end.

The Cyberster has one, I'd be surprised if the IMs don't... will check the Thatcham website.

I can't find anything listed in the August 2025 Thatcham doc release and I can't see a more recent one (doesn't mean it isn't there). I would assume yes, but obviously it needs confirming.

Thatcham Cat 1 are on almost all cars since the late 1990s -it is the simplest of systems.

While they are on a lot of cars, it isn't as widespread as you think.

Most MGs have previously had a Category 2 system (immobiliser), including the MG4, so it isn't a given.

Here's the August list from Thatcham so you can see for yourself:

Strictly they require -
YOUR VEHICLE is fitted with an immobiliser security device CONFORMING to Thatcham Category 1 standard.

 

[MikeJS]

Thatcham have confirmed that the IM6 "I can confirm that your vehicle type has a Thatcham Approved Category 1 Alarm and Immobiliser, fitted as standard by the manufacturer"

That's good and as it should be.
