I keep seeing references to "included" AA membership. But I have no information on this. Is it still in operation for the 2022 model?
I would do that if and when my car ever actually arrivesIf you ring the AA and quote your reg they should have it on their system ?
It is poorly named as MG Assist.As far as I know it is just basic roadside assist, might have onward journey but won't know until I get the paperwork, its initially for 12 months but you get a 1 year top up everytime you get the car serviced by an MG garage. Only for use in UK, so you can't use it if you go abroad.
Thats the oneIt is poorly named as MG Assist.
It is in fact full cover, for the car (not the driver).
from the MG.co.uk website....
This package will cover the vehicle for the whole of the UK (including Homestart, Roadside Assistance, Recovery and Onward Mobility cover). It’s a really comprehensive package to offer you reassurance and peace of mind. The details of your cover can be found Roadside Assistance | My MG
Agreed. That AA cover cost £179, so if the service is under that, you're quids in.Thats the oneI couldn't find the page quick enough when I replied. The rolling 12 months thing is still correct though, if you don't get main dealer serviced (with service plans costing £6 per month why wouldnt you) you don't keep the cover, so another incentive to get it serviced for cheap at MG

Motability might be something entirely different when it comes to the breakdown cover... The MG Assistance one is specifically AA... the RAC thing might be something separately arranged through Motability.So if you have motability MG don't offer AA it's RAC
It's unfortunately something that is bound to happen when you have a "scheme" such as motability purchasing cars from dealers. They obviously have their own arrangements when it comes to servicing, maintenance and break down cover so they won't opt to use dealer provided services a lot of the time. You will probably find that the car will have the AA provided MG Assistance AND the motability provided RAC cover.I agree but would make sense to keep stuff like that under one roof?
Free if you have it with the bankAgreed. That AA cover cost £179, so if the service is under that, you're quids in.
Edit: Just checked the AA site and they're doing it half price at the moment, so it's worth £89.50.
I have found the bank ones don't normally have very good cover normally only if you brake down away from home but The AA cover from mg is more comprehensiveFree if you have it with the bank
Is the £6 a month the normal rate from MG dealers, I think £18 was mentioned to me?Thats the oneI couldn't find the page quick enough when I replied.

£6 is the old low mileage service plan under 10k miles before it ended there was a higher mileage plan at £14 ish apparently the new service plans come out in May but dealers have also been offering the own plans to fill the gap but prices vary so you may of been offered one of them?Is the £6 a month the normal rate from MG dealers, I think £18 was mentioned to me?
