Warranty documents are detailed because they need to define exactly what is and is not covered. For most MG drivers, the key is understanding the main time limits, keeping a complete service record and checking the full terms before relying on a specific repair.
| Cover | Headline term | Key point |
|---|---|---|
| Main vehicle warranty | 7 years / 80,000 miles | Whichever comes first; first 12 months have unlimited mileage. |
| High-voltage battery | 8 years / 100,000 miles | Includes a capacity threshold in the applicable terms. |
| Paint | 3 years / 60,000 miles | Subject to exclusions and inspection requirements. |
| Anti-perforation | 7 years | Annual body inspections are required. |
Does the warranty transfer to the next owner?
Yes. The remaining warranty follows an eligible vehicle rather than ending when the first owner sells it. A complete service history remains important, so used-car buyers should check the records as well as the registration date and mileage.
How does MG EV battery cover work?
The high-voltage battery has separate cover for eight years or 100,000 miles. For vehicles covered by the current capacity wording, MG references a capacity level below 70% within the warranty period. Battery capacity naturally changes with age and use, so the full test and claim conditions matter.
Servicing and records still matter
MG’s current terms require a complete and accurate service history for warranty claims in years four to seven. Services should be completed within the stated mileage and time tolerance. Using an independent repairer does not automatically cancel the warranty, but a fault caused by incorrect maintenance or non-approved parts may not be covered.
An MG Authorised Repairer can keep the process straightforward and check for applicable software or technical updates at the same visit.
What is usually separate?
A warranty is designed for manufacturing defects, not every cost of running a car. Routine servicing, consumables, accidental damage, misuse and normal wear are generally outside the main cover. Some wear-related items have shorter time or mileage limits.
A practical owner checklist
- Follow the service schedule and retain every record.
- Arrange the annual body inspection required for anti-perforation cover.
- Report faults promptly and avoid unauthorised modifications.
- Use the full MG terms for any part-specific decision.
