Regarding corrosion, I will be using Lanoguard on mine. Tow bar / roof rails / LED headlights may be a deal breaker for you.

I would be making sure the extension lead is fully unwound and that any sockets/plugs are under cover to prevent water coming into contact. My granny charger uses less energy than my electric kettle. They are perfectly safe - if you have any doubts about your electricity supply, get in an...

Buy your RELIABLE car for £10,000 less - a bargain!

I have used MG Ashford for one service about £200 - for what they do it is expensive but you do get i year AA cover and warranty. The warranty seems to exclude certain items depending on the age of the car. Travelling from East Kent my only other nearest dealer is in Tonbridge. It is only once a...

The number of electric cars coming from China remind me of the influx of Japanese cars in the 1970’s. They were rubbished by home manufacturers but succeeded with value and reliability. I wonder if Chinese products will follow a similar path? Just a thought?

This one is a much better buy in my opinion - only 13,000 miles. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202502139062256?sort=distance&twcs=true&searchId=324a6873-544f-4544-84da-b98958911597&advertising-location=at_cars&make=MG&model=MG5&page=2&postcode=CT14%207TH&fromsra

As I said, you may have to travel.

I think you can get better for just a bit more money. Obviously it is your decision and you may be very satisfied with the car. My thoughts are that it may have had a hard life and not been looked after ( apart from servicing) by the previous owner. Look at Gomev’s advert above - 20,000 less...

It would have to be a very good price for me to accept those faults. What mileage and price may I ask?

I have heard on here that Osram Night Breakers really improve lighting performance.

My only gripe with the PFL is the headlights. They are not awful but not as good as LEDS

Out of interest - is there something hard under that crease?

On my MG5 the radio is constantly on! To switch it off I just use the mute button. I don’t believe it is a fault - just the way it works. Unusual compared to other cars but I just accept it is just Chinese wizardry and laugh! On the whole the car has been extremely reliable. Fingers crossed!

Very pleased you got it sorted. Love the colour of your car and I hope this incident has not put you off the MG4.

The MG5 is remarkable value for money, especially used. Get one with a full dealer service history and enjoy!

Exactly, it depends on how it was used for 127,000 miles.

Thank you both! I searched Amazon but did not use the right words! They look very useful.

I have read some threads regarding seat wear in MG models. The photo below was taken from an advert on AutoTrader - the car has done 127,000 miles. Not sure of the year but it is a long range version. Obviously I have no idea how the vehicle has been used, for example as a Taxi or just a single...

Does anyone know what these red covers (?) are called or where I can purchase them? They look helpful for rear seat passengers to find and fix their seatbelts?

Not sure how handy you are Neil, but I would make one from plywood and cover it with a rubber boot mat. One you can get from carmats.co.uk - You can cut it to size and stick it on the wood with a suitable adhesive - or just lay the rubber mat over the plywood to hide it. Plywood would probably...
