MG4 EV Collection / Delivery Checklist - Issues to look out for when picking up your new car 

Great content, very useful as always! Picked mine up a few days ago and with the weather as it has been, I haven't exactly had much time/inclination to road test. Few things that might be fixed by me RTFM but others that need serious attention: My tyre pressure warning yells at me every time I set out. Might need a top-up or simply the cold lowering the pressure but I would have hoped the dealer had inflated properly before handing over. Apparently there is a whistling noise above 40mph. I can't hear it because I'm old and male but my daughter and wife confirm it is there and gets worse with speed. Hopefully it's something simple like a loose (Trophy) spoiler. The rear parking cameras/sensors seem misaligned. Was convinced I had more room but apparently I was touching the car behind. All low speed and no damage but lost some faith in the system that day. Here's the big one though...all the "safety" systems reset every time you get in the car with lane assist being the top offender. Wouldn't be a problem if it behaved but I was almost in a hedge today as it yanked the steering away from the middle lane of a country road. If you don't spend time setting up the car... every. single. journey, at some point it will give you a nasty surprise. ENCAP rating be damned, that is a borderline dangerous implementation.

Thanks for all your short instructional films on the MG4. I pick mine up at the end of the week but already feel I know more about my new car than I do about my existing Peugeot! Thanks again.

Thank u for these info! Helpful for new owners of Mg4😊

Hi Burl, I've watched all your MG4 videos. Thanks so much for making them - they are so helpful. We recently bought an ex-demo Trophy from a main dealer. Great car which we are enjoying and getting used to. One thing that keeps getting my attention is the brakes. We find that we have to push with a lot of pressure to stop/slow down the car e.g. approaching speed bumps or stopping at a junction. Have you ever experienced this with your MG4? I did mention this to the salesman before buying it and he assured me it would be addressed in the checks before I got the car. But it still feels like 'weak' brakes to me.

I have made a list of most of this stuff from all the MG4 groups and forums - your video is great summary of the common issues, some I had not seen before I have this list Alignment/Balance Latest Updates for infotainment Not for Resale msg Sat Nav activated Recall/Software issues: Door Lock in issues Oil leak issue - revised breather? Aggressive LKA

Great video and timely to we are collecting ours next month.

Very useful for when I pick mine up next month.

Thank you 🙏

Grazie per i consigli ! Thanks for your suggestions !

Great video. Thanks.

Thank you. Do you have the window noise? Even if, are you able to measure up the db on 60 mph? That's quite interesting for me. Some reviewers compained about that noise and I don't know if this issue was represented on the test car if a reviewer measured up the noise while driving.

Great video as usual. When I put deposit on car in Ireland I asked dealer about the charging lead he said it was coming with the 3 pin domestic charger and cable for public charging . Also said floor mats included. Was surprised at all that cause normally I would expect you would pay for that. Anyway as usual all verbal. So I will believe it when seeing it.

I have had condensation in the top of the rear light clusters. Both had the problem but they cleared. It has since returned in one of these with quite a lot of condensation. Is this actually in the light or just the top horizontal trim? Need I be concerned? Thanks for the video I will now check the items you have covered.

Thanks for the video. May I ask did you have any oil leaks in your car? I guess not. However, I do see some oily stain on the rear of the car’s underlay (exactly like yours). Is it normal to have that? Or is there an oil leak?

May I suggest another useful checklist item ? How to get access to the Manual car lock to open doors if 12v battery fails? ( Does not appear in the electronic copy of manual I have).

I seen microscratches in the back spoiler of my mg4, it's in the dealer ready to pick up next week... they say they won't change that because it happens to all units. question to everybody: did you get your dealer to change the back spoiler?

You didn’t mention checking the “chirping” noise coming from the a/c pump ?

I'm about to get a new MG4, and this is not filling me with confidence! Surely the items mentioned should not be an issue on any new car; is this a sign of rubbish Chinese manufacturing?

I bought 2 brand new ford's didn't have to do this chinese tat that's why you have to do
