When's the next MG5 delivery?!!

[Purpleboots]

I wonder if we will all get our MG5s on this large shipment(s) promised for September

 

[amitri2003]

Update from my dealer last week was that he was expecting my MG5 by end of Sept..ordered Dec

You've done well to get an update. My dealer hasn't provided an unprompted update since I ordered last December.

 

[omega22]

It wasn’t unprompted. Been hassling them for a week so no doubt it’s a fairytale.

MG Uk are confident
Thank you for getting in touch

Regarding your vehicle order (ref no. 30000523##), we are pleased to confirm that the delivery ETA of your vehicle is towards mid of October

Not too bad for order placed Dec 2021, and they are pleased,

Any ideas which ship these orders could be on?

 

[smokie]

Yes, how do people know which ship their order is on, or even which ships are en route to the UK with MG5s on?

Placed an order via Vanarama for 5 Exclusive on 6th June, just before the price increase. Was told delivery would be Sept/Oct. Just had an update delivery will be 5th August.
2 months wait is fantastic.

That is a very good time, I ordered in April but have heard nothing.

They don't. You can find car transporters leaving Shanghai but there's no way to know what make or model they are carrying, let alone "your" car. Many trackers exist as the data is open source, but this is a popular one:

MarineTraffic: Global Ship Tracking Intelligence | AIS Marine Traffic

Tesla allow you to track your order from the start of the build process including which ship and a reasonably accurate forecast for when it'll arrive. But that's part of the experience that you pay for and of course they don't have the same importer/dealership model.

Did they specify which year though!

Your car is the same spec as mine and ordered in late February I've been given the vague delivery date of Autumn. Again no year specified, company car purchase, no idea which dealer.

 

[MikeMac]

I assume it’s not the facelift so older model

 

[Ping]

Just had a call from the dealer, my red MG5 LR Exclusive can be collected on Saturday (ordered February)

 

[doogie]

My MG5 LR Excite in silver has been pushed back to end of Dec (ordered Feb), I was informed about a week ago.

It's a lease car, not that it should make a difference.

 

[GarryG]

Dealer informed me #teamblack LR Exclusive, is at sea, ETA at dealers Sept 15th

 

[NigelTalbott]

Just had a phone call from Southampton MG with an update on my MG5 LR in White ordered Feb 22. They are saying there is an indication, from whatever ordering system they can see, that it could be delivered as early as September 22. How exciting. #TeamWhiteLR
