My Ownership Log: MG4 Trophy

[siteguru]

But MG Assist renews (for a further 12 months) after each (MG dealer) service, so the T&Cs are silent on how long MG Assist can be renewed for?

Yep, that PDF is not clear enough, if indeed it auto renews after an expensive MG service

Edit: Thinking about it and from experience, likely an intentional omission as they can then withdraw the renewal service whenever they choose with no reference to or affect upon the T&C's

What is the service price for year 1 and 2?

Using the MG service plan link (using my local dealer) I get a price of £97.73 for year 1 and £191.26 for year 2 plus a monthly management fee of £1.20

Is this ‘better’ than dealer direct pricing?

Am I being daft or are these the same thing ... ?

Assistance vs Recovery?

Am I being daft or are these the same thing ... ?

This is pretty standard in basic roadside cover - they'll tow you home or to a repairer if you're more than a certain distance away but if you're at/close to home they'll only fix what they can but won't tow you anywhere.

If you get a flat tyre at home, see if you can safely crawl 500m down the road before calling the AA

In this case it won't matter (unless I'm misunderstanding something) - they'll come and fix a tyre at home. (MG Assist includes Home Start).
