So I passed 3 days ago and I went to look at an MG4 trophy, I immediately wanted one but unfortunately the dealership didn't have the colour I wanted. I have driven one a little too and it's a massive upgrade from a manual. I am planning on getting a black 2023 model with under 20k miles. Does anyone have any advice at all? Things to look out for, best milage, how to find the capacity left on the battery to make sure it's good etc... Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Buy the X power very good car for new drivers

Insurance costs depend heavily on where you live, how many miles you do and somewhat on where you keep the car.

The same person can pay wildly different amounts across the country.

Possibly not for insurance cost though, if a new driver will even get cover.

First be aware how cheap you can get a new one (or a new MGS5 for that matter as I saw on offer of £10,700 reduction this week)! That's obviously se the bar low for used costs. Second you'll save a packet with an SE in terms of insurance and the battery pack of the Standard range being LFP is pretty much cast iron (no pun) as far a longevity. If you can put an elder relative/friend on as additional driver (helps on long trips together) that will help those insurance premiums. Agree what folks have said re under trays (which you can ask to examine on a jack) and about service record. I think I will do a DSAR for mine so it is there when I pass the car on eventually, though that may be many years yet.

My Ma, very soon to be 89, had a renewal earlier this month.

She was really worried about renewing because her premium has been going up and up and we have had to search around for a good deal.
I suggested she ring up her existing insurer a few weeks before renewal to see how much it might be. She was on speakerphone and we got a shock when she was told that last year's premium was £967.84 and this year's would be.....


......£894.33

But we can do better than that, the lady on the phone said. Because of your loyalty, we can offer you this year's premium at......


........£794.33

A discount of 173.51.

It's not often you ring up your existing insurer to find your premium has gone down, then you get offered a further discount for loyalty!

I remember the good old days when you used to get loyalty discounts, maybe they are coming back?

I think her insurer is Saga.

Even how you list your occupation can have an effect.

You won't like the £322 for my X-Power renewal in November then.

I was just over £500 when I renewed (i.e. took new insurance) in June (60 yo married male, with wife as an added driver) ... that was up from previous, but then I did have my infamous Storm Eowyn rear windscreen etc. claim factored in.

If I had a price like that I would've bought an x-power

Get yourself the Extended Range version.

 

[Snorky]

My last renewal was £252, it had dropped £80 from the year before.
