Any concern caused by an external repairer will not be covered by MG Motor New Zealand under any circumstance.

The owners handbook describes the proper care and use of the vehicle.

Vehicle warranty

The owner should:

• Make sure all required maintenance is performed and all materials used meet MG Australia engineering specification.
• Note: Failure to perform maintenance promptly and in accordance with MG specified service intervals will invalidate warranty coverage on the parts effected.
• Make sure the vehicle is presented to a dealer for any warranty repair as soon as practicable after defect is detected. This will minimize the effect a defect has on the vehicle and the nature of the repair needed.
• Make sure that receipts for completed maintenance work are retained with the vehicle and confirmation of maintenance. Work is always recorded in the vehicle documentation.
