Apologies if this has already been advised but I can't find it in any MG literature ... where exactly is the OBD-II port in the right-hand-drive (UK spec) MG4 please?

I've received an OBD-II ELM-327 adaptor from AliExpress for doing some testing with Car Scanner. :)

Thanks guys - all working. :)

SOH reports as 92.92% for what it's worth, but I need to have a proper play and check that I've got all the settings correct. :)
Congratulations on reading the SOH correctly. This value is a bit low. Maybe you need a slow <10%-100% charge equalization.

I've received an OBD11 ELM-327 adaptor from AliExpress for doing some testing with Car Scanner. :)
Good to know info thanks. I had a look on Ali, there's quite a few, which one did you purchase out of interest?

I bought a Vgate iCar pro2S. This is a qualified ELM327 chip and works fine
Now on Aliexpress for less than $20

It is called "OBD2", they use roman numerals that make it look like "11", but it is version 2 of the On-Board Diagnostics standard:

That's the one I got. It comes in a nice box with a foam insert to hold the device, and the box has a magnetic close to it. :)

I did an 8% to 100% and balance charge on Friday last week. :)

As I said earlier - I still need to have a proper look through the settings in case there's anything I need to tweak to ensure there are no mis-readings.

Don't worry too much, because mine has been used for 20,000 kilometers a year, which is only 95%
 
Mine is almost 2 years old; it was 95% at the 1 year service. So 93% at the 2 year service may not be unexpected. :)
 
Downloaded Car scanner on Android phone but have a LElink dongle ( used on Nissan leaf) will it work with car scanner and my MG4 LR 2023 reg?
