MG Monthly UK Registrations

182347 Views 1254 Replies 39 Participants Last post by  simcor
This thread is to discuss, and make guesses about, MG monthly registrations in the UK which are generally on the up - but how much?

I'm not the only fan of MGs who's not here as often as they used to be and I don't think we have the quorum any more to run a separate thread for each month, but if we have a thread with no month in the title, then anyone can start the ball rolling for subsequent months and update the summary of who has guessed what in their own post.

Am I right that the ZS EV will not be included in the same list at the end of this month and not broken down into brand on this list? So will be difficult to predict?

August registrations were low by recent standards. All GS have now been registered so September is ZS and 3 only (and facelift 3 was brand new last year) plus any EVs. I don't think the first customer has driven away in his/her ZS EV yet but dealers are taking delivery of demonstrators on a 69 plate, I have even seen two EVs together at one.

The MG ZS was the second-best-selling model of absolutely any model in Wales in August! Nathaniel registered around 60 of them in the first two days of September also.

So this month I am guessing an absolute record for MG without customer ZS EVs, and without HS. Maybe I'm too optimistic but it's clear more buyers delayed until September than I had guessed.
1415 for me in SEPT.

Got it all wrong last month, so I'm being more cautious this time with 1390.

1600 for me.
Well, the first customer EV has indeed been registered and there are over 2000(?) more on order...
Result is 1363. Forrester wins.

smart 126 -92%
SsangYong 395 -14%
Alfa Romeo 500 +5%
Subaru 526 -37%
DS 556 +34%
Abarth 662 -33%
Jeep 779 -10%
MG 1,363 +35%
Mitsubishi 2,017 -38%
Dacia 4,300 +74%
Fiat 4,765 -19%


The "next level" boys clearly expect huge sales in September. Look at Dacia!

This month is too early for even dealer demo HS and ZS EV customers are tapping their feet like Sonic the Hedgehog (though it seems a boatful has come in to Portbury) - it seems only two customers have actually driven away in them so far. So after the new reg hype is the realisation that some people may be planning to buy their next car when Brexit is sorted out lol... so I'm going 874,,,
It will be low this month with to many distractions.
I go for 436.
Hold on - can I still edit the post for the month's results? Can't see where.

OCTOBER 2019

436 Forrester
874 patpending.

Results out on 5th of November, so remember!
I’ll say 650 (like my motorcycle). No more science than that I’m afraid. :unsure:
OK... do not think I've had a go for October so if I have not ( not easy to search threads under this new format arrangement I find ) I'll pitch in with 867. ... :)

Definitely seeing more new/newish MG ZS/SUVs about the place recently. Car consumer punters seem to like them despite the assessments in motoring journals with their opinions based on different values to car consumers. :doh:

Still only four of us. Maybe the hassle of yet another migration is keeping some of us away!
