If it's easy to swap out a battery, do you think there's a danger of battery theft. One of the many reasons I went EV is because of the rise in catalytic converted thefts on ICE vehicles.
My dealer said not to bother with the service plan so I dod not, but I insured the alloys and cosmetic dents instead
Which main dealer quoted you these prices?I received the 3yr free service plan documents today which gives a breakdown of costs.
Standard Services
Service : Service Date : Approx. Mileage : Total
Year 1 Jul 2021 15000 £72.00
Year 2 Jul 2022 30000 £137.32
Year 3 Jul 2023 45000 £72.00
It doesn't say whether it includes VAT or not.

I don't know about the UK, but in the Netherlands we have an 8 year battery warranty for 70% capacity. Expected capacity loss is around 1,6 percent per yearDo MG UK guarantee after year 7 a minimum battery capacity - and is this comparable to say the Nissan Leaf promise ? I cant seem to find anything on the website just says its covered.
I was told about £90 for the first service with my dealers.
Unfortunately they didn’t go into the nitty gritty just listed the overall price scheduledid they tell what they will be doing for that money?
This is what i found at the MG website. So the first 15000 mile service should be limited to a software update (not essential). But could be half an hour work.

Roadside Assistance | My MG
In the unlikely event that something does, we provide a one-year roadside assistance package from the AA with all new MGs.mg.co.uk
Also if you read further down it says that if you have your car serviced by MG dealers you’ll be entitled to another 12 month of AA road assistance for free...have I read this right?A screenshot clip from the above website showing "breakdown of service intervals" with servicing every 2 years.
Hi Folks,
To avoid any confusion I will suggest each of you visit the MG site and create an individual service plan. I think it is a uniform plan and is valid for all authorised service plan dealerships in the UK. So my understanding is that the service plan agreement is with MG UK and not your Dealership.
Here are some pics.

It's not uniform, it asks for you to choose a dealer, then the quotation is based on the chosen dealers labour rates, so they vary. When I did the exercise the lower cost services came out at £95, as this is my local dealers rate.
You're misunderstanding the chart, the service is still every 12 months, it's just that no parts or fluids are changed in years 1,3,5 etc. They will just visually inspect the car and plug in the diagnostic for your service fee, you know... effectively nothing, lol!! But you do get any (free anyway) mandatory software updates done, another years basic AA cover and a teddy bear thrown in![]()
I realy hope they wash the car as well. Most importantly.. The car and battery warranty requires it.
