MG4 reliability

[gdog]

Ive been doing some research on mg4 reliability, looking at DVLA SORN rates compared against the Tesla model 3 based on cars first registered on 2022 and later.

[ Edit moderator: SORN stands for Statutory Off Road Notification, applying to the UK. ]

MG4 has a SORN rate of 0.25% compared to 0.21% for Tesla. to me this confirms that the MG4 is almost as reliable as the Tesla model 3 or remains economic to keep on the road.

I have no faith in media run reliability surveys and believe this confirms the issue are prominently niggles and poor MG experiences.

what do you think

I'm trying to figure out how a SORN percentage can determine a vehicle's reliability, please help me out?

its hard to find any dependable data other than official dvla data. i assumed non-sorn means its still economic to be still driving and on the roads

Ummm.. 2 of our vehicles are SORN'd right now, but not broken down

Can't see any MG4s being Sorn for uneconomic reasons. They are too new, only came out in 2022.

yeah i get it. collectable/hobby cars may be SORNed. so i figure newish cars would only be SORN if written off or not economic to repair?

not in my case. Driver may be on long holiday or working abroad for > 1 month. Might want to change month of taxation. May only drive their Cyberster in the Summer

I'd think they would be more likely to be scrapped in that case, not SORN.

interestingly SORN rate for Volkswagen golf is 0.52%, ford puma 0.46%, KIA sportage 0.53% (random ICE samples)

some of the most popular ICE cars in UK
MG4 at 0.25% not looking so bad

(i have amended these figures to those registered from 2022)

intrestingly Volkswagon golf as a whole, SORN rate is 10.7%???????????????
WTF is going on there

Classic Golfs sorned over winter.
