Common problems

1High Likelihood

PTC heater ground-stud fire risk recall

May have no obvious symptoms before failure, so recall completion matters more than day-to-day behaviour.

How to check

Have MG confirm by VIN whether the UK recall is outstanding and carry out the official rectification if not already done.

Estimated Repair Cost

£0

2High Likelihood

AC charging failures and delayed charge start

Charge sessions abort, charging starts late, or the car refuses some public posts even though the cable and charger seem fine.

How to check

Plug the car into a known-working AC charger during the viewing and wait for the session to begin.

Estimated Repair Cost

£450

3Moderate Likelihood

Panoramic roof water ingress into footwells

Wet front carpet, damp smell, misting windows, or water dripping into the cabin after heavy rain.

How to check

After the drive, open the doors and feel the front carpet edges and mats, especially after recent rain or a wash.

Estimated Repair Cost

£450
