So, it appears the rust has started on my 2021 MG5. I wash it at least once a month so it's appeared within the last 30 days as the last time I washed it I also waxed the whole car so would of seen it then. No direct chip where the two bubbles have appeared, the paint has separated from the body where the bubble is.

It's in for service on the 18th so will mention it then, but no doubt they'll blame it on some stonechip or another 😭

Rust isn't covered under warranty unless it has rusted right through the metal, that's why it's called anti perforation in the blurb.

Anything covered on paint defects? Had a bubble appear in the paint on the front wing too a few months back (not a stone chip or rust) but when I touched that it popped so I had to remove the paint and do a touch up. It was as if the paint hadnt adhered to the primer as that was still evident when I removed the bubble.

Edit: just checked the blurb and 36 months for paint. Will get my mate to respray the rear quarter when it becomes too unsightly for me to bear. I'm not too fussed as I'll be driving it until the wheels fall off as it's my commuter car.
