Whoever is looking to buy an MG car this is going to be one more reason to support their decision from today.

The following is quoted from https://www.drive.com.au/news/mg-australia-10-year-warranty-…

New cars sold by MG in Australia are now covered by 10 years or 250,000km of factory warranty coverage – the longest of any brand.

While MG’s new 10-year warranty is longer in time – compared to its previous seven-year offer – it now has a distance cap of 250,000km, rather than unlimited.

In effect from today (1 August 2024) for all newly-registered petrol, hybrid and electric MG models, the new warranty applies to vehicles not deemed to be "commercial use" – such as Ubers, taxis, food delivery couriers and driving schools.

Vehicles considered to be "commercial use" retain their previous seven-year/160,000km coverage. It is common for car brands to offer a shorter warranty distance limit on vehicles used for these purposes, but it is rare for the time cap to also be reduced.

    OK that's quite impressive. I am assuming it doesn't cover batteries for the EV's?

        It doesn't specify. On MG's website (which isn't updated yet, still says 7 years), they split out vehicle warranty, anti-perforation warranty and battery warranty. The articles say the vehicle warranty is 10 years, anti-perforation is 7 but there's no mention of battery.

    • Gorian4 on 01/08/2024 - 13:11

      Considering their previous battery warranty was 7 years & unlimited km (for private use). I would say it definitely includes the batteries in this new 10 year warranty.

        They never will, they want you to run your engine 25K km between oil changes and ruin it, then some are stupid enough to do it all again.
        MG obviously care about longevity, BMW et al care about selling a new car in 2-3 years.

      Actually, that is a good thing.

      MG were always unreliable money pits going back to the Mini.

      This is the reason MG went broke and was bought for pennies on the dollar by the Chinese. MGs are better made cars now.

        LOL, but it was bought by SAIC, who also produce unreliable money pits. They're just funded by the Chinese government though, so they could wear the losses and continue to expand for cheap.

        • MasterScythe on 01/08/2024 - 14:07

      Why? Original MG known for their reliability like Toyota? Or it share the reliability like land rover and jaguar?

    • grog on 01/08/2024 - 13:29

      Originally the MG meant "Morris Garage" and they made sports cars like the very nice vintage now days MGB3, all made in the UK.

    • King Tightarse on 01/08/2024 - 13:33

      FWIW worth John Cadogan said a couple of years back that he hears very few unresolved warranty problems with these.
      I get the feeling, reading between the lines that he doesn't particularly like them but they are not shirking after sales responsibilities.
      This is pretty much the path Hyundai took when they entered the Au market.

      I’d consider buying an MG (or a BYD, or literally any Chinese EV) (used, of course, just to make sure there is no warranty left to void) just to change out the computers inside so that it runs Android Automotive on something like an RK3588.
      But yes, I agree with you. SAIC and Geely have ruined MG, Lotus and the London Taxi (now called LEVC).

          USA-China war is as unlikely as a USA-Russia war. The smaller countries will get squeezed to act as proxies (e.g. Israel-Palestine or Ukraine-Russia). Chances of Australia being at war with China is miniscule. It's easier and cheaper for them to just buy up our farmland and lease our ports, which Australia willingly allows.

        Indeed, 3 years in, 22,000 km so far on my little van. Wish I could drive less but now in a rural area where the bus literally comes ONCE a day in the morning at 9 am and returns at 5pm. The 35km to town is ok on the ebike but no charging there means the return trip is uphill and a slog on a heavy ebike when the battery runs out about 3/4 of the way home and the 70km round trip is a bit too much for me on the normal bike with some groceries etc

      Not about faith, it's about maths.

      The shitty parts are probably so cheap that repairing constantly isn't that expensive.

      What's not compensated in your time and inconvenece of continueally being without a car because you're waiting weeks/months for them to get parts shipped in or for them to actually do the repairs.

    You can afford to floor it at every light knowing full well if anything breaks you'll get a loaner car and get to take it back to the dealer.

      1) I'm sure it's in the T&Cs that suspected abuse of the car voids the warranty.

      2) What makes you think they'll give you a loaner car?

      get to take it back to the dealer.

        Warranty is important, but reliability more so. Consider the phone calls, the emails, time off work, travel to and fro dealer, time without car, etc, during a warranty claim.

            @Drakesy: Much of a muchness these days - Japanese and Korean cars have had their fair share of issues too. European cars suffer due to the manufacturers service intervals, in my opinion. No matter how good the oil, it shouldn't be left in the unchanged for more than 10,000km.

            Chinese cars are getting better, but still probably wouldn't consider one yet

    Not shitting on MG by any means but this kind of warranty surely would seem to be a little dubious no? There will likely be a fine line between wear and tear and manufacturing defects for such a long period so really even if it says 10 years, what's to say that half the issues wouldn't be classified as wear and tear by an MG dealer

  • techno2000 on 01/08/2024 - 13:31

    While MG’s new 10-year warranty is longer in time – compared to its previous seven-year offer – it now has a distance cap of 250,000km, rather than unlimited

      No they'll wait until all competition has been destroyed in this race to the bottom and then when all we're left with is cheap shitty cars, they'll up the prices.
