MG5 SR 4th Service Advice!

[Dark Star]

I bought a low mileage MG5 standard range last year.
It's now due its 4th year service and I was wondering what others had paid for theirs to be done.
A dealer in Dorset has quoted me the best part of three hundred quid.
Does that seem to be the right amount?
It's just coming up to 28,000 miles so would that have any bearing on the price?

Many thanks

It sounds about the price people are being quoted when the coolant replacement is due.
Its always worth going onto the MG website to get a quote for a 1 year service contract. It asks for the registration number and current mileage and gives you a quote straight away.

Having 28k milage could put it in the low milage service bracket if it has done less than 10k since the last one.

AHH brilliant, didn't know you could do that.
Many thanks!

Saved me about £80 for my 2nd year service. Watch out for the timing though. I wasn't allowed to book my service until after the payment had been taken for the contract and that was weirdly a couple of weeks after I signed up.

Hi, have you got a link as I can't find the service contract bit on the MG site. Thank you.

It is a bit hidden isn't it. Start here https://www.mg.co.uk/mg-service-plans and the link is about half way down.

Thank you.
This is what I was given for my 2021 Excite at 68k

Maybe check whether Cleevely mobile service would be able to help?

I'd considered that but as the car still has a warranty I wanted the MG site to be updated which apparently Cleevely can't do yet?

Just booked mine in at mg brindley Wolverhampton £350. + mot.
The receptionist said you get pollen filter, new key fob battery, diff oil ( I presume she meant reduction gear box) and brake fluid. Can't remember if she said battery coolant.
Tbf I failed to say it was low mileage.

At least this time she didn't ask what size the engine was, price based on cc for ice I'm presuming.

Coolant is a 5th year item, not 4 (unless you are hitting it on mileage rather than time).
Gearbox oil isn't part of the planned service schedule.

That's probably why I couldn't remember if she said coolant then
She did say diff oil though so should be fun finding it.
