servicing costs

[Chrisjk]

Hi I have noticed that in US servicing is every 24 months, not 12 as here
as a low mileage user , ie c.5k pa why do I need a 12 month interval, other than to keep the warranty valid?

I think you've answered your own question.

Servicing is a revenue for dealerships, albeit a small one now with EV's just needing a kick of the tyres.

Australian service interval is also 24months/40000km (25000miles)

In the U.K. the service schedule has been determined by MG to be necessarily every 12 months or 15,000 miles in the case of the first service ( Or which ever comes first ).
Therefore if you wish to comply with the T&C’s which under pins the 7 year warranty cover and will renew the MG Assistance ( via the AA ) then that’s what you need to do.
Strangely enough other countries have different time lines / mileages dictated.
Odd that these service date fluctuations appear in different parts of the world ? when effectively it’s the same car ?.
Different climate conditions across different countries, are very likely to carry the can for this reasoning.

Same in New Zealand

Ok so possibly climate conditions in some countries require special rules. It is the same car everywhere so it should surely be MG not local dealers who decide the rules?
