MG has extended the standard warranty offering on the MG3 supermini to five years or 60,000 miles.

The two-year extension marks the milestone of more than 10,000 MG3 models sold since 2013 and matches that of the brand’s large GS SUV.

A seven-year warranty is offered on the newly-launched MG ZS crossover.

MG says the extended warranty was designed to offer its drivers the peace of mind that they will be looked after both on and off the road.

Harvey France, MG Motor UK's head of aftersales and parts, said: “We are always looking for ways to enhance our customer experience and value for money. The MG3 has been a strong performer for us over the past couple of years, proving a popular, reliable choice for drivers of all ages.

“The versatility, style and value for money of the MG3 are just a few of the reasons our customers keep on coming back, and we wanted to reward that loyalty with this extended warranty.”

Available from £99 per month (or £8,695), the MG3 offers a range of customisations options, alongside low-insurance and running costs.

To welcome in the New Year, exclusive dealer-fit accessory packs with graphics, coloured mirror options and an interior pack are on offer for £295, saving customers £180.
