Is it surprising. This is my experience.
I no longer own the vehicle I sold it back to a certified MG dealer on 19/6/26 . Having bought it new in Jan 2025.
This was because MG UK couldn't fix a fault that started in Dec 2025 & after 4 months sat in their workshop and 7 attempts to fix it where it always failed within hours I had had enough. That cost me a loss £8,000 plus emotional stress.
The dealer then told a friend I had sold it as I was ill & unable to drive which wasn't the case & that the car was fixed which it wasn't. The dealer apologised saying the sales person was confused.
Here is what the salesman told my friend.
"Just had an interesting conversation with Ollie from ?MG , in ???, where I made an enquiry about your ‘old’car. According to him, you only sold the car as you had to give up driving altogether, due to health reasons. When I asked whether there were any issues with the vehicle, as I thought it priced quite low for the year/mileage etc., he informed me that they would never have a car for sale on their forecourt that had any problems whatsoever."
So that is why I treat anything they say with doubt.
