Reliability & Safety Recalls

MG MG5 2021

Reliability

3/5

The 2021 MG5 EV is an affordable entry-level electric car with decent practicality, but build quality and long-term reliability are concerns typical of early Chinese EV imports to Europe. Battery degradation and software/electrical gremlins are commonly reported; servicing is straightforward due to simplicity of EV powertrains, but parts availability and dealer support remain patchy in Ireland.

Known issues

Battery capacity loss reported after 2–3 years; some owners report 10–15% degradation earlier than expected
12V auxiliary battery discharge issues; auxiliary battery can fail prematurely, leaving car immobilised
Onboard charger faults; slow DC charging port intermittent connection or failure in damp climates
Software glitches affecting infotainment, climate control, and power delivery; occasional loss of drive (resolved by restart)
Door handle and seal quality issues; water ingress into door cavities reported
Regenerative braking inconsistency; lag or stuttering during braking transitions

Good for

Low running costs; electricity is significantly cheaper than fuel in Ireland
Practical 5-door family hatchback with reasonable 370–410 litre boot space
Zero tailpipe emissions and exemption from fuel-based road tax in some territories
Simple mechanical design with fewer moving parts than petrol/diesel alternatives
