MG wait times in 2023: How long are MG’s delivery delays?

After a new MG, but not sure how long you'll have to wait?

Issues such as semiconductor chip shortages, shipping problems and sickness and isolation have affected the ability of manufacturers like MG to keep their production lines going over the last three years.

As such, all of the brand’s models are currently experiencing some delays.

However, some models are in greater supply than others, with flexibility around powertrains, specification and vehicle colour likely to see a vehicle in your driveway sooner.

Overall, according to Price My Car, the average wait time for a MG is now 54 days – compared to 56 days in January 2022.

The quickest arrival is the HS with an average wait of 25 days.

Meanwhile, the worst-affected in MG's lineup is the ZST, with a wait time of 57 days.

“For most models in our range, we have a good supply for immediate delivery, particularly within our HS range,” the company said.

"Everything remains on track at this point in time, we’ve fast tracked the arrival of our ZS EV Long Range alongside the preview of the MG4.”

The only changes made to existing model lines, says MG, is the deletion of the Tudor yellow colour option for the MG3.

“MG Motor has fought really hard to secure a large proportion of automotive allocation for our region in an ongoing effort to keep Australians moving," a spokesperson told us.

"Victoria has experienced delays at a greater scale than the rest of the country recently due to an increased biosecurity threat and port congestion that the wider industry faces as a whole, authorities are understandably monitoring inbound automotive shipments to Australian ports, with a strong focus on the East Coast.

"MG, like other manufacturers has been affected by some of these challenges which have resulted in further inspections and delays of deliveries to our dealer network and our valued customers.

"MG continues to co-operate and comply with the requirements set by the Department of Agriculture and Ports Authorities. We understand, acknowledge and respect the importance of biosecurity measures to ensure the longevity and safety of Australia’s environment and ecosystem.

"These challenges make it difficult to predict exactly how long it will take for all bottlenecks to be cleared or when new ones will appear, please be assured we are doing our utmost to ensure as little as a delay as possible.”
