Update from my dealer today - For the last year as all of us know there has been delays due to the chip shortages and now adding to the delay is the Russia - Ukraine war. During the Chip shortage period many dealers have placed fake orders (Fake orders in general is a common practice). And MG is aware of this. However due to the chip shortage issues causing delays in the production, MG insisted to all dealers not place fake orders. Many dealers however still continued to place the fake orders. Effective 8th April 2022, MG started to scrutinise every order and the Dealers and began to charge a penalty of £.1500/- for each fake order and pulling the fake ordered vehicle out of them. Where did the vehicles go? - They are being and have been sent to the dealers who are following the rules and are in good relations with MG. If you have booked your vehicles through any of those good dealers, and if you have paid the full cost of the vehicle during booking, and if the withdrawn vehicles from the dealers who did not obey MG's instructions match your order, you will have a better chance of getting your vehicle earlier than the rest. Many of such vehicles are being delivered to customers from this week onwards.
