    Multiple MOTs from new

    You can MOT a car any time you want to. So if a dealer takes in a used car with 3 months left until the next MOT they can just MOT at the time of sale to give the new buyer 12 months cover. This is one potential reason to have more MOTs rather than how many years a car has needed an MOT. Might...

    MG EV Prices

    This pricing stuffs up all sorts of things Used market values Make a mockery of any business or leasing agreement that uses the manufacturers RRP for BIK calculations Insurance valuations

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    In theory this would be paying for a service, you pay for a certain quality of service, so what minimum levels of service would you expect for your money? Better quality road surfaces The ability to travel at the max speed for the road for a majority of the trip Reduction in other payments that...

    You also use it to put the wipers into the maintenance position so you can lift them when cleaning the car or replacing the wiper blades

    iSmart Windows Opened Warning

    Moved to 3.1.2 when it was released and have been through each update since 2023 still never seen a window warning, wonder if it is region specific like some of the other features.

    Minor vibration through steering at speed

    For the XPower vibration, changing the tyre pressures to slightly higher than recommended and putting a few thousand miles of wear on the tyres can help to reduce the vibration

    System powers up after shutdown

    Just a side effect of your rear end being the on switch. I have had times when I just reached into the car for something and too much pressure on the drivers seat cushion fires things up. You have to pretend you are in Mission Impossible and leave the car without putting any pressure on the...

    You will go through the OFGEM supplier of last resort process and will probably be charged at whatever "special" tariff the new supplier moves you to as part of the SOLR process https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/blog/how-youre-protected-when-energy-firms-collapse

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    Expect a lot of folk will be looking for pre 2017 diesel cars then with the VED being so low and MPG so high. My wife had a diesel Mini from that time frame, zero VED, Euro 6 emissions and up to 800 miles from £60-£70 in the tank.

    Who is best now?

    With 2 cars another option (if you have the space) is to get some battery storage. Then on the days when the cars are not charging during the cheap rate periods you top up the batteries. You can then charge then cars outside of the cheap rate times using the batteries.

    New car payment upfront without viewing

    You still have the 14 day cool off protection afforded by the distance selling regs. So not such an issue to pay up front, unless the dealer closes down within the 14 days before you get your money back

    XPower bargains UK November 2025

    You could really freak out some of the dealers who know nothing about the car by asking if the front bumper fangs are covered under the MG warranty, I suspect more than half would say yes just to get the sale

    XPower bargains UK November 2025

    Have MG just dumped a load of new XPowers on dealers, there seem to be a few brand new or low milage ex demos selling for around £25k. So would you go for a 1-2 year old XPower for just under £20k or spend the extra on a brand new one?
