Mine's just stopped working today, nearside rear door only.
I can hear the lock operating but the door handles don't work.
Did you get it done under warranty ?
I have taken a brief look at the MG warranty T&C's and can not see any reference towards locks & handles ?.
IF it is NOT covered under warranty then as a rough guide, a complete locking mechanism for the N/S/F door ( Gen 2 ) is about £85.00 ( ish ) so not TOO spiteful in this day and age !.
Plus, I would hazard a guess at around one hour of labour to install, so roughly a total of about £200.00 ( ish ) depending on your location in the U.K. of course ???.
Unless MG agree a full / part sympathetic claim ???.
Main dealer service history helps in these situations ( trust me I know ).
My brother has just had the N/S/F complete lock replaced on his brand new Trophy LR under warranty.
The inside pull handle never worked on collection day !.
External handle worked fine.
Similar story, I once owned a brand new VW Golf and when it was only about 3 weeks old, I tried to enter via O/S/R door ( from the outside ) one day and the handle was operating correctly, but it would not release the lock / open the door.
My local dealer, actually fixed the problem on their car park in about 10 minutes.
On the VW Golf they have a flexible cable that run's inside of the door, it attaches from the back of the external pull handle, to the release point on the locking mechanism inside the door.
The tech just opened the door and with cross headed screw driver, removed a long bolt cross headed bolt, that passed through the door frame and into the rear of external door handle.
As he removed the bolt, you could see the external handle start to move, as he tipped the handle over, you could see that the flexible cable had slipped out of a guide in the back of the rear external door handle.
Therefore, the handle was operating fine from the outside, but the cable was not able to active the release on the door mechanism, as it had become detached.
After he refitted the cable, then the door handle, it worked perfectly !.
He said it MAY just slip out of the clip again, if it does bring it back.
It never got the chance, when I returned home I removed the handle again and made sure the clip
was secured in such away, it would not come out again.
Had the car for three years after this, no further issues.
I am not saying that is your problem here, but it would go someway to explain why the handle has worked fine for this length of time, then suddenly stopped working ?.
If so, it could be a quick fix hopefully !.
The most recent problems seen on doors not opening on the ZS EV models have mostly been the internal handle opening failures.
As far as I can tell, not many with internal & external problems after this length of time ?.
Please correct me if I am wrong here
