In two weeks, I will have my MG7 for 5 years.
I will not include pictures because they would look exactly like the first pictures I posted 5 years ago. The bodywork has some minor chippings which I treated with a touch-up pen. The ODO meter now reads 72453 Km, a very moderate milage compared to my years in Europe (75000 Km/year). Maintenance cost during 5 years have been low: 488 UK pound (incl.oil) In addition I have spent money on replacing the heatshield under the exhaust pipe (30 UK pound, my own fault), 4 new tyres (150 UK pound), a protective shield under the motor (65 UK pound) and new floor mats (75 UK pound). One time my car was hit by somebody else and the damage was 38 UK pound, paid by the assurance. The car still drives like new and is looking great! Since this car has not been sold in large quantities (certainly not in Chongqing where I live), it always attracts the eye from many people. The elegant and classic look is only to be compared to some much more expensive cars (like Jaguar). I am still happy with my car and I intend to drive it for much longer. Yes, it is possible to shift the stick of the automatic gearbox to manual and then change the gear by shifting the stick forward or backward. Last edited by Dragrad; 17th October 2015 at 02:51..

Hi Roelof,
Long time ago, but I am curious Are you still owning the MG7? Do you have any new pictures / stories? How's the quality?

Time flies !
Again one year has passed since my last message and I am still driving my MG7. It is now almost 6 years ago that I was the new, proud owner of this car and to be honest, I still feel that way!
The car never has let me down, even on the dusty, bumpy roads, full of potholes. Motorways have been extended and have improved over the years and many drivers have some experience now, so it is less dangerous than before. The MG now has 780040 Km on the ODO meter, had all the maintenace according to the book (some things more frequent because of the hot and dusty conditions in China). Costs remain extremely low; the biggest expense was a new battery (495 RMB = 60 Bristish Pounds) because I let it in the car for two months without using it (while I was in Europe). Normally I disconnect it during a long absence. Although there are some small scratches on the lacker (which I treated with a lacker pencil), the car looks almost as new and it certainly drives as new. In short: I am a happy driver and I intend to keep the car for the years to come. |

Hi Roelof,
Thanks for keeping us up to date on the MG7. Might have to try and find one for a test drive next time we are over. Just noticed you are in Chongqing. We have an apartment there, not been lived in for 9+years and looked a bit worse for it when we visited a year ago.
