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.

    To avoid the Uber / Delivery drivers.

    Be sure to check the fine print. I'm going to imagine there is so many holes you can drive an MG through it.

      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.

      Exactly what BYD is doing to Telsa and Ninebot did to Segway.

  • LuckyDealer on 01/08/2024 - 13:41

    Was thinking to get GWM Ora for wife on her b'day…she loved its looks, but took test drive yesterday and wouldn't buy it.
    In your expert opinion, should I go for MG ZS EV or Model3 3.67% loan offer thats ongoing?

    Usage: wife drives ~100Km 4-5 days a week to her workplace and we have got a 10KW solar with battery. Objective is to have cheaper vehicle operational cost compared to the CX5 that she drives now

      Maybe check out the MG4

    • cmyk on 01/08/2024 - 14:40

      I have similar low km usage and got the MG4 excite 51 (LFP battery). Went from $100petrol /mth to less than $10 electricity /month
      Granny charger is more than enough. Got AGL EV rate but your solar/battery could make it zero cost.

      • donm on 01/08/2024 - 14:58

        How long have you had it? Any quality issues?

          7months. Only issue was the mobile app. It was down for a few days. It just means you can't turn on the aircon or check battery level remotely haha.. 1st World problems..
          Other than that, solid and fun car to drive

      yep CX-5 is a real piece of shit… heavy on fuel especially in the city and limited practical space….. yeh ok mechanically it's alright like most Japanese cars

    • loksmack on 01/08/2024 - 15:39

      Model 3 and ZS EV are worlds apart.

      The price gap shows it.

      If it's cheaper you want, but not too rough, I'd go with an MG4 or BYD Dolphin.

  • drazenm on 01/08/2024 - 13:41

    Car manufacturers using term unlimited kilometres is extremely deceiving and untrue. It's not unlimited kilometres for entire car. You have full warranty for mentioned years OR unmentioned (sneaky part) kilometres, usually around 100.000-150.000kms, whichever happens first. After that in most cases only certain mechanical parts are under warranty. Have to ask all the right questions, they usually won't say themselves. Have fun! :)

  • bargaino on 01/08/2024 - 13:45

    And warranty is transferable.

  • Maglieri on 01/08/2024 - 13:51

    Any experiences from owners of electric MGs? The FBT exemption for electric cars is tempting and this warranty might be enough to push me MG's way (especially since I don't want to spend $60,000+ on a car, electric or not).

    • wazman67 on 01/08/2024 - 14:59

      New MG4 owner here - a reaaaaally fun car to drive. Too new to comment on longevity and long term stuff, but punches above its weight for value. 7 years unlimited is great already, and servicing is only every 2 years, alternating cost between around $250 and $900 via MG Servicing.

  • The Value on 01/08/2024 - 13:51

    According to the latest Survey of Motor Vehicle Use by the Australian Bureau of Statistics done in 2020, the average yearly distance travelled was 12,100km nationally.

    250,000 is plenty.

  • kungfuman on 01/08/2024 - 13:52

    question how much is the servicing cost? and do they force you do to a logbook service?

    • xsacha on 01/08/2024 - 14:02

      Doesn't every manufacturer require a logbook service for warranty coverage? You can go to any mechanic and get a logbook service.

      • kungfuman on 01/08/2024 - 14:06

        nope Telsa doesn't do this. They even put how to videos in the car for you to follow to do your own servicing doesn't affect warranty at all.

        • OzViper on 01/08/2024 - 14:35

          Tesla only have a piddly 4 year warranty anyway, after that you are on your own… no wonder they don't particularly care about scheduled servicing..

          • kungfuman on 01/08/2024 - 15:38

            @OzViper: 4 year warranty on basics which covers the 16v lithium battery for the electronics (good luck getting a lead acid 12v battery replaced under warrenty btw with any other brand). and 8 years on main battery and drive motors. Servicing cost in between is at worst about 200 a year. its nothing compared to most people that get there car serviced these days and spend 100s or 1000s a year. That doesnt' include tyre replacement btw.

    • team teri on 01/08/2024 - 14:05

      Service costs are online.

      Up to now the warranty required regular services, but not necessarily from MG. Anyone doing a logbook service would have been fine. That said: if something breaks after getting it serviced elsewhere, the blame game could be nasty.

    Had a few hundred of these MGs at work (car rental) whilst they're cheap, you get what you pay for. We had lots of issues where they had to get sent for warranty and they weren't exactly quick to fix the issues.. if you're happy driving a loan vehicle multiple times a year then an MG is for you

  • gromit on 01/08/2024 - 13:53

    After renting an MG on a recent trip to QLD I don't think they could discount one enough for me to even consider a purchase, worst bucket of shit I have ever driven, poor ride, intrusive driver assists, brain dead controls and entertainment unit, uncomfortable seats, gutless engine that was unresponsive and surged etc.

    • altomic on 01/08/2024 - 14:25

    Combine that with this offer: ZS EV Excite, price slashed to $34,990 drive away for the month of August.

    Only applies to cars delivered by the end of the month, not sure if there's enough stock around to post as a deal. But if you're in the market for an EV, this would currently have to be the best offer in the market. Beats the Ora in many ways.

      we have a Haval H6 and an MG ZST both coming up on 12mo.. the MG has already had two things replaced under warranty. Monday morning her screen wouldn't come on for first drive of the day so couldn't adjust anything (came on later on second drive). FB zst owners group is full of issues and the screen quality seems like an early android tablet.

    Still, a 20% depreciation in the first year and almost 50% over 5 years. Perfect to get a 3-5 year old car.

    • team teri on 01/08/2024 - 14:06

      That's true for most cars though, not specific to MG. The moment you drive a new car off the dealer's lot you lose 10 to 15%.

    Their prices in Australia are 2+ times higher than in China. They can afford and still have income if they just give you a brand new car every 3 years. Fck the warranty and service.

    • gromit on 01/08/2024 - 16:06

      you are comparing apples and oranges, The chinese models even with the same name are not all equivalent. It also costs a lot more to get cars to Australia vs China, then we have all the import duties, taxes etc. They definitely would not have room to give you a new car after 3 years.

      • Ozzster on 01/08/2024 - 16:12

        This is the same product with added tax and delivery fees. And a bit for local dealership. Do you think that in China they don't pay taxes and delivery and dealership are free?

        • gromit on 01/08/2024 - 16:16

          you think delivering a car a few hundred kilometres within china is similar to the shipping, import fees and delivery to Australia? you have got to be taking the piss?

          • Ozzster on 01/08/2024 - 16:20

            @gromit: If you you know all those fees and costs you are very welcomed to post them here. Until that it's just guessing. From my knowledge it is 5% import and 10% GST.

            • gromit on 01/08/2024 - 16:49

              @Ozzster: So that is %15 +$1000-$2000 shipping, + delivery fees from port (will be in the hundreds) + dealership costs (again will be way higher than china). Corporate tax rate here is also 5% higher than china.

  • doobey1231 on 01/08/2024 - 14:10

    I question the benefit of posting this as a deal when its not yet from the manufacturers own media release. I am sure they paid for these articles so itll come into effect shortly, but I think its jumping the gun using an article from a 3rd party. For example if someone bought thinking this was in place and it wasnt, telling MG that a Drive or Car Expert article said so isn't gonna make it suddenly true.. Just be wary until MG actually confirms this change…

    I'm now at almost 3 years and over 60,000km with my MG HS PHEV. I've had three small warranty issues: the steering wheel 'leather' was peeling which was replaced, the boot latch wouldn't always lock and was adjusted, and the rear camera is now flickering (still currently sorting out with the dealer).

    The important bits like the battery is still at 61km of range (down from 63km) and no other significant issues like mechanical or engine problems. Not always the case with all MGs like the cheap ones, but I'd definitely recommend mine.

  • ireciel on 01/08/2024 - 14:15

    I visited a multi car brand franchise on the weekend to test drive a Kia. I asked the Kia salesman who was Chinese about MG since they were next door. He mentioned that he wouldnt try and sell anyone an MG. He said its good for people who dont have a lot of money and want a new car. According to the salesman; they have a long warranty becuase your likely going to need it. Other brands have long warranties becuase they believe their product will last a long time. He also said there have been a few instances were a truck will deliver new ZST's only to have 2-3 of the cars all have similar transmission problems.

    • SydEng on 01/08/2024 - 14:21

        And not logical. This isn't reasonable for manufacturer "they have a long warranty becuase your likely going to need it" because the manufacturer will pay for it.

    • gromit on 01/08/2024 - 16:10

      asking a salesman about a competitors brand is braindead and should be given about the same level of trust as fox in your henhouse. besides which none of that makes sense, if your vehicles are unreliable you want a shorter warranty otherwise it costs the manufacturer a fortune.

    After hearing what my customer has said about these cars, I'm not ready to buy one just yet.

    They needed new brakes (front and rear, pads and rotors) for a 14 month old car that did 20k kms. The brake job cost them close to $1k with parts making up about $650. According to the dealer, they are made from a form of industrial tofu because even the service department are selling brake jobs hand over fist.

    These cars are total and utter junk. The engines especially are god awful. They sound like a bag of hammers and couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. The ride sucks, the steering sucks, the brakes suck. I will say though that they do a good job on the interiors at least in terms of turd polishing.

    Often the cheapest cars prove most costly (especially if you are involved in a crash)

    This is a major generalisation but buy Korean if you want value, quality and trouble free motoring.

    • Anubizz on 01/08/2024 - 16:20

      You aware kia have huge class action lawsuit in US right?

      • BrokenRiedel on 01/08/2024 - 17:12

        As I said, major generalisation and you are pointing to a specific botched recall.

        Bad piston rings and machine swarf in the bottom end. These are production line problems that can be dealt with and not fundamental design flaws.

        Honda and Toyota are both prodigious for recalls and so are GM and Ford. Given the Germans and their track record post 1990s, I don't think anyone will argue their case.

        In the words of a mechanic "every car is a POS"
