Upholstery Wear

[Caramaddy]

I have read some threads regarding seat wear in MG models. The photo below was taken from an advert on AutoTrader - the car has done 127,000 miles. Not sure of the year but it is a long range version.
Obviously I have no idea how the vehicle has been used, for example as a Taxi or just a single high mileage user.

The drivers seat wear in the photo looks reasonable.

I would post the advert but I am not sure of the Forum Rules regarding posting an advert. It is with an MG Dealer and is up for £8,390.

Photo of the drivers seat wear was the main point of this post

Some bolster wear would be normal at this mileage so that doesn't look too bad.
Of course, the size and weight of the driver plays a big part in this!

Exactly, it depends on how it was used for 127,000 miles.

My drivers bolster on the seat base split in multiple places just after a year (6000 miles)
£184 for the seat base cover from MG and about 1.5 hours for me to fit it

My 2021 MG5 Has worn badly at 32k with no abuse, wondering how they will treat on end of lease?

That’s exactly how mine looked after a year and 6000 miles
Not good

At least I have a ball park figure for replacement, and pictures from Web & here for ammunition. Definitely not a fake leather fan.

Out of interest - is there something hard under that crease?

Do you normally have things in your back pocket ?

Nothing hard under it and nothing in my pocket, I’m sure wear is just from me getting in and out.
