Serviced To MG's
Manufacturer Schedule
Not all servicing is equal. We follow the exact standard you'd expect from a main dealer, so your MG's 7-year warranty stays fully protected.
Interim Service
A shorter check-up covering fluid levels, tyres, brakes and key safety items — recommended between main services, especially for higher-mileage or short-journey driving.
Main Service
Oil and filter change, full diagnostics, and a comprehensive check of fluids, brakes and safety-critical components — carried out to MG's own maintenance schedule.
MG Intervals
Every service follows MG's specified schedule, exactly.
Correct Parts
Genuine or OE-equivalent parts, from oil spec to filter type.
Warranty Protected
Valid whether your MG is brand new or several years old.
Full Transparency
We tell you exactly what's due and why, before we do it.
Common MG Problems
We Repair
Certain faults recur across MG's popular models and mileages. Hover a fault to see how we handle it.
TPMS Sensor Faults
Common on ZS and HS models — false warnings often start from around 10,000 miles.
Front Suspension Wear
Bushes, drop links and dampers wear relatively quickly, causing knocking and uneven tyre wear.
Clutch Wear
Premature clutch slipping or judder reported on some manual models — caught early with regular checks.
Gearbox Notchiness
Manual synchromesh wear and slow automatic shifts, particularly on MG3 and older ZS models.
Head Gasket Issues
More common on older or high-mileage petrol engines — coolant loss and overheating are early signs.
Oil & Coolant Leaks
Often traced to gasket covers, pressure hoses, filters or the sump plug.
Electronic Parking Brake Faults
Can fail to release or engage properly — a servomotor or control unit issue in most cases.
ABS Warning Light
Usually a faulty wheel speed sensor, blown fuse or bad relay, diagnosed with the correct equipment.
Infotainment & Software Glitches
Freezing or rebooting screens, resolved with the latest MG software updates.
Engine Management Light
Full diagnostic scan to identify sensor, coil pack or software faults, fast.
Premature Rust Spots
Can appear despite Zintec-steel coating, especially on cars kept near the coast.
Fuel Pump Wear
Petrol models used mainly for stop-start city driving can see early electric fuel pump wear.

Don't Risk Driving Your MG Without A Valid MOT
When Should You Book Your MG In?
MGs are built to be dependable daily drivers, but like any car, small issues rarely stay small for long if left unchecked. Book your MG in if you notice:
- Warning lights on the dashboard (engine management, ABS, airbag or oil pressure warnings)
- Unusual noises on startup, particularly timing chain rattle on TFSI engines
- Rough or delayed gear changes, or hesitation from the DSG gearbox
- Vibration through the steering wheel or pulling to one side
- A drop in fuel economy or rougher idle than usual
- Uneven or accelerated brake pad wear, common on EV and hybrid models
- Your MG’s service indicator showing on the dash
Catching these early is usually cheaper and less disruptive than waiting for a full breakdown, and keeps your MG running the way it was engineered to.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I service my MG?
Most MG petrol and hybrid models need servicing every 12 months or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. Electric models such as the MG4 EV and MG5 EV are serviced annually too, usually around 12,500 miles, with the focus on brakes, tyres, cooling systems and software rather than an oil change.
Can you service MG hybrid and electric models?
Yes, our technicians are equipped to service MG’s full hybrid and electric range, including the ZS EV, MG4 EV, MG5 EV, and the ZS Hybrid+ and MG3 Hybrid+ models.
How long does an MG service take?
A standard annual service typically takes around half a day, and EV services are often quicker since there’s no engine oil or filter change involved. We’ll always confirm an estimated collection time when you book, and can arrange a courtesy car or wait-while-you-are option where available.
Can I book my MG's MOT and service together?
Yes, we’re happy to carry out your MOT and service in the same visit to save you time and a second trip. Just let us know when booking and we’ll schedule both together.
Will servicing at an independent garage affect my MG's warranty, including the 7-year cover?
No. Under the UK’s Block Exemption Regulation, having your MG serviced at an independent garage like ours does not affect your manufacturer warranty, including MG’s 7-year/80,000-mile cover, provided we follow MG’s official service schedule and use genuine or OE-equivalent parts, which we do on every job.
Do you use genuine MG parts?
Yes, we use genuine MG parts or OE-equivalent parts that meet the same specification, so your car’s performance, reliability and warranty protection are never compromised.
