MG 4 50K miles REVIEW

The review covers the car's performance, reliability, and affordability. Winter driving highlighted reduced range (around 180 miles), but warmer months improved it to up to 324 miles per charge. The battery has only degraded by 4%, showing excellent longevity. Interior durability has been good, with minor wear and scratches, while the seats remain comfortable. Maintenance costs totalled £598.21 for three services, with minimal component wear thanks to regenerative braking.
The review also addresses software updates, noting the need for improvements to Lane Keep Assist and Traffic Jam Assist. Overall, the MG 4 is praised for its affordability, reliability, and performance, making it an excellent choice for EV buyers.

About to purchase the Extended range 77 here in Australia - coming from another EV I have had for 5 years and servicing is $195 every year - cannot understand why the service cost is so high.

Great update on your experience of ownership. Don't you think those servicing costs are outrageous, the majority of work carried out by the dealership is purely a visual inspection. For comparison purposes, were this to be done as an MOT that cost would be £52 for practically the same inspection, throw in and air filter (£12) and you're done.

🧐I do appreciate your comment. I thought is just me who feels that the cost for servicing is a bit dear. One of the reasons why I made this video was to get feedbacks about this costs too.

@@wattsefficient I think partly the issue is the warranty, the buyer feels compelled to continue dealer servicing in order to rely (at a future date) on any warranty claim being resolved. Although current legislation requires the manufacturer to accept independent servicing provided OEM parts are supplied, there's always a nagging doubt that they would be as complaint as one might expect. Another concern is that software updates are only available via the dealer rather than OTA. These reasons tend to "encourage" the buyer towards dealer servicing (& pricing), perhaps this is by design & where they make their margin ultimately, given the discounting that we currently see on the car itself.
