My HS PHEV Exclusive was purchased from F G Barnes Canterbury on 14/07/2021 and had its first annual service this year on the due date.
Today when driving I altered the temperature on the the screen which then jammed. I completed my journey, turned the car off and then back on again and the screen operation returned to normal. An MG Chinese glitch.
But then I noticed in small writing on the screen, PM 2.5 filter which the internet told me was an air filter.
I rang the service department of Barnes who told me that this filter wasn’t due to be changed until the second service due next year. They thought it would be ok to still drive until the next service.
Like another contributor on this forum, my car indicated that a service was overdue shortly after I had purchased it new. The explanation from Barnes was that the car had probably been made much earlier.
The suggestion is that this is another earlier than true notification of work needed.
