Yeah, it’s a tango trophy I’ve had since Nov 22 doing school transport, it’s held up very, very well, I had the early cars leaky breather problem on day 1 which was changed to the revised version very swiftly, I’ve since changed the diff oil roughly every 20kish as preventative maintenance (on the diff thread).
I changed discs & pads all round recently (they weren’t even half worn really but very scabby (especially the rears & I'm conscious to do a few hard stops weekly) I couldn’t have any silly taxi MOT fails so for me were worth doing.
It hasn’t seen an MG dealer since 45k where I think the SOH was 98% still from memory & I’ve still not noticed any loss of range at all, I’d guess it’s still well into the 90’s if measured, it’s been charged to 100% most of its life but never kept there & probably only seen a rapid charger 4 or 5 times.
The OE Conti tyres I found awful, so were changed the first month to Crossclimate 2’s which I got around 30k out of I think & since then its now on its second set of Vector Gen 3’s with even better wear, I wouldn’t use anything else apart from these 2 now, both night & day better even In warmer weather & no notable loss of range from the Conti’s.
It had its last MOT at 91k with not a single advisory, all suspension etc. is original & it still drives very well compared to a new trophy I’ve driven recently, I didn’t notice any difference & I’m usually very sensitive to such things
.
I replaced the 12V battery as preventative maintenance in the summer holidays around August time (never had a problem however).
I’ve read a couple of complaints about seats etc. but I’ve never had any problems, mine genuinely look like it’s done 20k & the passenger literally looks new still as does the rest of the interior really.
It’s taken, lots of northern England / Scottish Borders snow / B roads / floods, you name it in its stride & hasn’t had the easiest of lives on the whole although I think I’m quite mechanically sympathetic
, it really has been fantastic, here’s hoping the Xpower is just as reliable!
It still looks very fresh for the mileage too I think but it’s only been washed by me & I’ve tried to look after it, a few stonechips always touched in etc.
First & last pics were at 91k! with the other 3 at various points of his life .
Sorry for the rambling!

, it’s only done 1500 miles tho & as new & a steal at over £10k less than I paid for the trophy new! It’s done its job for me but unfortunately as expected the resale value isn't great.
