has anyone had this problem.

When I was getting my MG4 Trophy I had to wait for the number to be registered first with DVLA and then I was able to get insurance.

My car is registered with DVLA but TESCOS still say they don’t have any information
Thanks for your input

Your dealer should provide you with complimentary drive away insurance, ask them for it. You can then try Tesco again or other providers

I asked my DEALER GYLN HOPKIN but they said they don’t do it anymore

I had a similar problem. See if you can get a quote from an online comparison site. If it doesn't recognise your reg no. then the insurers' system won't have it. It took a few days from the dealer registering it to it appearing on the system.

Even more inconsistent and poor MG customer service.

Do a search on insurance, as many of us who got their cars 12 months ago had the same issue - go direct to the main insurers, e.g. Aviva, LV, Admiral, et al., they can usually normally add it over the phone, LV did in my case this time last year - a comparison site is also useful as it will give you an indicator as to who will offer insurance on the ER, also dont put in the reg, but search manually. If the worse comes to worse, just put in an equilivent model that exists and then sort it out via phone afterwards. From recollection I think i had to do that?

Some insurers appear to be getting confused with MG (the old British cars) & MG Motors UK which if you look on somewhere like Compare The Market it has 2 distinct options to select.

 

[Tig170]

Quidco compare (I think its run by money supermarket?), has all of the options, incl, X-Power & Trophy Extended Range, albeit on selecting manual input, didn't go any further to generate a quote though.

Had this issue with mine, but was able to enter make model manually instead of by registration number to insure it. I ended up using the RAC as came out best on price. Underwritten by Aviva, who was my current insurer, but going direct to them was more expensive, which is just bizarre.

They'd better tell their website managers then. ?

Just a quick update to my problem TESCO do not insure MG4's so I had to change to Admiral no problem.
Hope this might help someone

Did they say why?

I am sure it is to do with registering cars. Insurance had to be in place to register the car and it is no longer needed for registration.

 

[MickB]

No they went through the data base and found the car , when I asked what’s next they said sorry we don’t insure MG4’s

 

[Mattmcg]

This is a strange one as my Trophy is insured with Tesco. Didn't recognise my reg at the time but I just manually entered make and model.

 

[Annaka]

My Trophy is also insured by Tesco

 

[MickB]

What the lady said at TESCO'S was they don't insure imported cars.
anyway TESCO is a thing in the past now

 

[Mattmcg]

I wonder if they were confused then and thought you were importing a Chinese registered car. If they didn't insure any car that was imported, they'd struggle to insure anything much beyond Bentleys and Land Rovers
