MG4 Maintenance?

[tsedge]

Does anyone know if there are specific servicing and maintenance requirements for the Mg4?

My dealer said there would be something cheap but did not have any details. He did say they would offer a ‘plan’ but I don’t know if that is actually needed.

I know in general tyres should be the main thing, plus occasional stuff on the brakes, AC and battery cooling.

Any experiences from other MG EVs that could set my expectations?

Many thanks,


Tom.

Yeah, that’s what my local MG dealer told me. They are in the process of putting a cheap servicing deal together which should be ready by the time I take delivery. As you said, tyres will be the main thing, but I imagine some fluids and cooling liquids will need a top up.

What cooling liquids? The only coolant will be for the battery pack - and I thought that was a sealed system?

This stuff (sorry about the writing, taken from a review): 2 cooling systems and topups clearly possible.

Darlington Dealer seemed to think it would be £130 a year for Service check to keep AA Road assitance for a second year.

Thanks… Hmmm doesn’t sound especially cheap and I think I have breakdown cover 3 times over already via other bundles.

The labour rate is the most significant cost in routine maintenance. You'll need a filter or two at least. Factory software upgrades are what tie you to a main dealer going forward.

My dealer quoted: it would be £70 year 1, £130 year 2 and £70 year 3.
If I was paying, but they do a deal with all new MG's 3forfree. Servicing is free for three years, so is Tax(free anyway) and AA free for three years.

My service plan is £420.31 for three years including first MOT. Apparently is not a straightforward minor/major service schedule.

£420! That’s not far off what I paid for my last ICE car, which also included a free MOT. I suppose the dealers don’t want to lose out on service revenue.

I was quoted £303.21 for a 2 year plan for a standard range. I don’t tend to keep cars long so I might as well just pay at the time. I suspect MG will have new cars coming thick & fast on this new platform, so lots to tempt us!

I think I’ll wait and see what is in the service schedule and then decide where to take the car.
