    Delay paying £190 car tax on EV until April 2026 (action needed before the end of March 2025)

    Just checked my tax status on the GOV website today and it now shows taxed until 1st April 2026, so I assume it worked as intended and I will now not pay any tax for 12 months.

    Can anyone (Can't select D or R)

    That's very frustrating. I had an issue last summer (which stretched into late Autumn) whereby my infotainment screen died and flat out refused to come back on. Took numerous visits to the dealer including a service and a decent wait for a new screen to arrive, but they did replace it under...

    Sudden acceleration

    This is actually one of the few things that has taken some getting used to for me. Slowing down with the help of regen only for it to suddenly back off and rely entirely on the friction brakes. It definitely can catch you by surprise if you're not paying attention!

    Delay paying £190 car tax on EV until April 2026 (action needed before the end of March 2025)

    No renewal letter yet, I thought I'd try take the initiative after reading some of the posts and comments on here and re-tax the car early to get the £0.00 rate. However, not sure if it actually works. I'll keep an eye on it.

    What is your usual charge range? (Trophy LR)

    During the recent cold temps here I've seen around 150-175 mile range on an 80% charge in my Trophy. However I balanced charged to 100% yesterday and I had a range of 237 miles, presumably due to the warmer temperatures. I do a similar yearly mileage to you at the moment, and I charge to 80%...

    Delay paying £190 car tax on EV until April 2026 (action needed before the end of March 2025)

    Hi all, I just want to check I've done this correctly. I've just been on the GOV website, entered my reg and V5C code, it told me it will cost £0.00 from 1st April 2025 for 12 months. Does that mean I've effectively now avoided having to pay the £195 tax? Sorry if that's a silly question, but...

    Squeaky Bum Time!

    Same with me! A bit ashamed to say I've not run the car below 19% yet..

    A white MG4 in MK? Good chance I've seen you around a few times then!

    MG4 Spotted! : Was it you?

    The more I see these the more I wished I got a grey one!

    Problems connecting newly purchased used car to iSmart

    Hi Rob, I had the exact same issue when I got my MG4 last year. In the end I had to email MG Customer support with proof of ownership (V5), along with my details, car reg and VIN with a request to reset the iSmart. MG aftersales is notorious, but to their credit in this instance they unbound...

    Insurance Renewal time again, any recommendations?

    Certainly hope so! I found my insurance premium jumped massively when switching from my old ICE car to my MG4.

    Charging 10%-100% every 3-6 months

    Not seen it so far, but haven't 100% charged since just before Xmas so may need to do one soon.

    Quick toggle between ACC and TJA

    Indeed, I hadn't realised you could do this until I saw another post on this forum about it. Handy to know, however.

    Forgetting brightness

    Yep mine does the same too, usually after preheating the car at night. Shows the brightness as low but the screen is almost dazzling. Touching the brightness bar seems to reset it back to normal.

    MG4 Trophy Wireless charging (iphone)

    I've only used the wireless charge a couple of times as I found it very inconsistent, driving over any sort of bump seemed to stop it charging. I just plug it in via cable now to charge (and for Carplay).

    MG Sells Over 81,500 Cars In The UK In 2024.

    Good to know, I wonder how many were MG4s? Since we're constantly being told the demand for EVs isn't there anymore..

    Not off to a good start! MG4 Trophy

    Hi Nick, firstly welcome to the forum, but very sorry to hear about your experience so far. As you may come to find out, there are many of us on the forum who have had our own share of poor experiences with MG dealerships myself included. (My cars central screen failed completely about 4...

    New owner of an an MG4 - Servicing Costs?

    Think I paid £120 for my first service last year which I thought was very reasonable, that was about the only good thing I can say about that dealer though.

    USB disk identification failure on iPhone

    I've had that a few times before but sporadically. I assumed I wasn't letting the car boot up properly before plugging it in and after trying again a couple more times it seems to work fine again. Just one of those things.

    How do you treat your MG4?

    Since this is my first EV I'm probably a bit more cautious with it than I need to be. I try to drive fairly economically (with the occasional hoon!). I charge to 80% once a week, with a 100% balance charge once every couple of months or before a longer journey. Treat it a lot better than my...
