Is your boot flush with the bodywork?

Just took the car to be hand-washed and, while observing, noticed that the boot does not sit flush with the body work, there's about 10mm difference along the bottom. Is this a feature of all MG4s or is there something wrong with mine?

Just had a quick look at the official video from MG and it looks similar, the vertical sections are flush with the bottom edge inset. Have a look for yourself, I used MG motors France.

Mine's exactly the same (and I mean exactly - same model, same colour). I think it's a design feature. It hadn't struck me as being a problem, it looks deliberate.

Design feature then ???

Yup.

Yep, I asked this question some time back, as I couldn't see any adjustment on the bump stops (see here: Boot Stops).
As seems to be the general consensus, it's a design feature.

My GLA had a massive ledge under the boot lid so I was happy to see the MG4 had only a very little one, yet not completely flush.

Seems like it’s designed that way. Could maybe be adjusted but then that would perhaps leave a big gap at the bottom…

Every hatchback car I've owned has been like this.

That's just light reflecting. This is the whole photo:

Point of information. If your boot appears to be flush with the bodywork, it isn't properly shut.
