WARRANTY

Unless otherwise specified in writing by SAIC Motors Australia Pty Ltd (MG Motor), and subject to the terms of this Warranty (including the Limited Warranties, Warranty Exclusions and Warranty Validity sections set out below), MG Motor warrants that any MG Motor vehicle supplied by MG Motor will be free from manufacturing defects or malfunctions during normal use for the following periods.

The Warranty period indicates that a vehicle warranty is valid until expiry of the stated period. The Warranty period commences on the date of delivery to its first owner, as recorded in the Service & Warranty Booklet (and irrespective of change of ownership) and ends on:

• the date on which the stated Warranty expires; or
• (as applicable) the date upon which the vehicle travels the stated kilometres,

whichever occurs first.

The following parts are subject to the following limited warranty periods only.

• Tyres. Tyres are not covered by this Warranty. Tyres are covered by the express warranties of their respective manufacturers or suppliers. Any claim in respect of vehicle tyres should be directed to the nearest manufacturer service agent or supplier. Excessive tyre wear, inconsistent with normal use may be considered under this Warranty only when the wear results from a manufacturing defect.
• Non-genuine parts and accessories. Non-genuine parts and accessories are not covered this Warranty. Non-genuine parts and accessories are covered by the express warranties of their respective manufacturers or suppliers. Any claim in respect of non-genuine parts and accessories should be directed to the nearest manufacturer service agent or supplier. Any fault or decline in vehicle performance and/or reliability resulting from the use of non-genuine parts is not covered by this Warranty.
• The following uses, normal or natural occurrences and aspects of the vehicle and its ownership are not covered by this Warranty:
  • parts that are subject to normal wear and tear (which may vary depending on the usage of the vehicle, its kilometres, geographical and climatic environment) that do not result from a manufacturing defect (including but not limited to, normal wear and tear on tyres, brake pads, bulbs, and wiper blades)
  • any fault as a result of use of the vehicle for racing, rallying, speed trailing, hill climbing or similar activities or competitive events
  • any fault as a result of using the vehicle for a purpose other than that for which it is designed
  • any fault as a result of driver negligence, misuse or abuse (including but not limited to, tampering, disconnection, loading or towing beyond the manufacturer's specifications, or continuing to drive the vehicle after loss of fluids, lubricants, oils, coolants, refrigerants or water)
  • any fault as a result of an accident, impact, collision, explosion or fire damage
  • any fault as a result of failure to have the vehicle inspected, serviced and repaired strictly in accordance with MG Motor's specifications set out in the Service & Warranty Booklet and/or by a duly certified and qualified vehicle repair workshop
  • any fault as a result of installation or use of non-genuine parts, fluids, accessories, equipment, assemblies or components
  • any fault as a result of theft, illegal use or malicious damage
  • any fault as a result of damage resulting from the use of non-recommended, inappropriate or contaminated fuel, additives, oil, fluids, lubricants, coolants, refrigerants or water
  • any fault as a result of failure to maintain and care for the vehicle, including but not limited to, its body, trim and paintwork, in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations (eg, use of unsuitable cleaning agents, incorrect storage methods) as set out in the Service & Warranty Booklet
  • any fault as a result of environmental conditions (including but not limited to, acid rain, industrial fall-out, salt, sand, stones, tree sap, bird or animal droppings, windstorm, hail, flood, lightning, or other events outside of MG Motor's reasonable control)
  • any vehicle that has been written off by an insurer

  • any vehicle that has the odometer disconnected or changed – ie, where mileage has been altered and/or the actual mileage cannot be readily determined (if the odometer is replaced, it is important to enter the odometer reading of the removed odometer in vehicle documentation)
  • operational characteristics which are considered to be representative of the characteristics of the vehicle, including but not limited to:
    • noise, rattles or vibrations of low amplitude or frequency
    • slight oozing of oil or the like about packing and/or oil seals
    • gap between panels which are within limits
    • external appearance defects such as paint, chrome and trim, which are not visual unless magnified by special means
  • normal maintenance including adjustments (front brake, axle, wheel or headlight alignment etc.), periodic servicing, cleaning or replacement of oil, air, fuel and passenger compartment filters, maintenance of nuts, bolts, clips, connection
  • incidental expenses as a result of defects in manufacture, including but not limited to, telephone expenses, vehicle rental charges, towing charges, loss of use of vehicle, loss or damage to personal property
  • repairs or work required, that form part of the New Vehicle Preparation (PDI), or as a result of poor preparation of the vehicle prior to delivery to the customer
  • the re-occurrence of a fault due to the quality of work performed or a diagnosis error by a dealer, otherwise known as rework

To ensure the validity of this Warranty, the owner must:

• Ensure that all services are carried out as per the MG Motor maintenance schedule set out in the Service & Warranty Booklet. Failure to perform maintenance promptly and in accordance with MG Motor specified service intervals will invalidate Warranty coverage.
• Ensure all required service and maintenance is performed using materials that meet MG Motor engineering specification. The service provider must comply with the requirements of the vehicle Service & Warranty Booklet and use parts that meet the original equipment specifications. Failure to service a vehicle in accordance with the Service & Warranty Booklet requirements including use of non-authorised parts, will invalidate Warranty coverage. Whilst the Warranty will not be invalidated if a non-authorised MG Motor repairer carries out this work, faults resulting from work carried out by a non-authorised repairer that do not comply with the requirements of the Service & Warranty Booklet will not be covered under this Warranty.
• Ensure that all completed maintenance and repair work performed on the vehicle is recorded in the maintenance and repair log in the Service & Warranty Booklet and is presented to the MG Motor Dealer when making a Warranty claim.

To make a claim under this Warranty, you must:

1. Notify MG Motor within 7 calendar days or as soon as practicable after the defect or malfunction appears (including to minimise the effect a defect has on the vehicle and the nature of the repair needed). Contact 1800 64 2277 (1800 MG CARS).
2. Deliver the vehicle to an authorised MG Motor Dealer or Distributor.
3. Refer to this Warranty when delivering your vehicle to the authorised Dealer or Distributor and provide the vehicle maintenance and repair log in the Service & Warranty Booklet.

If MG Motor determines that a vehicle has a manufacturing defect or malfunction within the terms of this Warranty, MG Motor will, at its own election, either replace the component with the same or comparable component, or repair it, or if it relates to the MG Charge Hub, replace or repair the MG Charge Hub.

• Limitation of liability. MG Motor shall not be liable for any consequential loss, indirect loss, economic loss, loss of revenue or special losses which are not reasonably foreseeable, that may arise from any defect of a vehicle.
• Force Majeure. MG Motor is not liable for any breach of Warranty caused by or resulting from prohibition or restriction by law or regulation of any government, fire, flood, storms, war, strike, lockout, or other labour troubles, accident, riot, Acts of God, or others beyond the parties' control.
• Variation of Warranty terms. MG Motor reserves the right to make changes in content, description or terms of this Warranty if deemed to be necessary by legislation or business objectives and will give MG Motor Dealers notice of any changes. The Warranty terms as available on this website at the date a vehicle was delivered to its first owner, as recorded in the Service & Warranty Booklet, apply to the vehicle.
