Are batteries covered under the MG warranty?

For the 12V starter battery used by MG's fuel-powered models, this is covered until the car's first service, which means its first 12 months on the road. The high-voltage battery packs used by MG's hybrid and electric cars are covered by an eight-year, 100,000-mile warranty. This coverage guarantees your battery pack will retain at least 70% of its original capacity in this period. Note that a well-cared-for battery pack should retain much more of its capacity for substantially longer than eight years. This is simply the period MG is willing to provide warranty coverage for and is typical of other hybrid and EV manufacturers.

Are wheel bearings covered under the MG warranty?

MG does include warranty coverage for its wheel bearings but they aren't covered under the standard seven-year term. Instead, MG guarantees its wheel bearings for three years.

Do used MG cars come with a warranty?

Yes. As long as the used MG you're looking at is less than seven years old, has covered less than 80,000 miles, and was registered after 1 September 2019 (2018 for MG3 models and 2017 for MG ZS models) it'll still include factory warranty cover. You also need to stick to the terms and conditions of the warranty cover during that period.

Is the MG warranty any good?

Broadly speaking, yes. MG's warranty cover is a plus point for the brand because its seven-year period is longer than the industry's standard three-year coverage. Like most warranties, you'll need to stick to the set terms and conditions to keep the cover active. That means caring for the car properly, repairing any damage in accordance with MG's guidelines, and keeping up with the car's service schedule. Being picky, MG's anti-perforation (rust) coverage isn't as generous as other manufacturers. Most brands offer 12 years of anti-perforation protection, but MG simply applies the same seven-year period as its other components, albeit with no mileage limit.

Which models are covered by Jaecoo’s warranty?

All Jaecoo cars sold in the UK are covered by its seven-year factory warranty. That applies to the Jaecoo 7 family SUV, as well as the smaller Jaecoo 5 SUV that's due on sale soon.

Does Jaecoo’s warranty have a mileage limit?

Yes. Jaecoo's main vehicle warranty has a 100,000-mile limit that applies alongside the seven-year period. If you pass 100,000 miles before that period ends, your warranty will no longer apply. Certain parts like brake pads and shock absorbers have lower age and mileage limits. This is because they count as wear-and-tear items and have an expected replacement lifespan.

Can you extend Peugeot Allure Care?

No, you can't extend Peugeot Allure Care. Peugeot Allure Care lasts for a maximum of eight years or 100,000 miles – whichever comes first. After the initial three-year factory coverage ends, each new period of coverage is unlocked with each subsequent service at a Peugeot dealership. That period lasts until the next service, with a new period activated once the service is complete.

Does Peugeot Allure Care have a mileage limit?

Yes. In addition to the eight-year age limit, Peugeot Allure Care also has a 100,000-mile distance limit. That means if your Peugeot covers more than 100,000 miles within the eight-year coverage period, you will no longer receive any factory coverage.

Which models are covered by Mazda's warranty?

All Mazda models are covered by the company's factory warranty. They just need to be within the age and mileage limits, and have stuck to the servicing intervals.

Does Mazda's warranty have a mileage limit?

Yes. Mazda cars registered before 1 September 2025 have a maximum mileage limit of 60,000 miles on their warranty cover. As soon as that number is exceeded, the warranty no longer applies. Mazdas registered from 1 September 2025 onwards have a higher limit of 100,000 miles.

Are batteries covered under the Hyundai warranty?

Your Hyundai's standard 12V battery is covered separately from its five-year warranty – the brand will cover the battery for 24 months and an unlimited mileage. 48V battery packs fitted to Hyundai's mild-hybrid cars are covered under the brand's five-year warranty. High-voltage battery packs used in its full-hybrid and plug-in-hybrid cars are covered by a separate eight-year, 100,000 mile warranty. This guarantees the pack will retain at least 70% of its total capacity within that time.

Are headlights covered under the Hyundai warranty?

Headlight units that fail as a result of manufacturing defects during the five-year warranty period should be covered. Note that this coverage does not extend to halogen or bi-xenon bulbs if your headlight units use them – these are covered for 24 months or 10,000 miles.

Are wheel bearings covered under the Hyundai warranty?

Wheel bearings are considered wear items by Hyundai so aren't technically covered by its five-year warranty. That said, the company does guarantee wheel bearings for 60 months – five years – although the mileage limit is 60,000 miles rather than unlimited for main warranty items.

Do used Hyundais come with a warranty?

Hyundai's five-year factory warranty is transferable between owners. That means, if you buy a Hyundai that's less than five years old and it's been maintained according to Hyundai's specified service intervals and standards, then any remaining coverage will apply to you as the vehicle's owner.

Are batteries covered under the Lexus warranty?

12V starter batteries used in fuel-powered models aren't covered by Lexus' 10-year warranty as they're considered wear-and-tear items. The high-voltage battery packs used in Lexus' hybrid and EV models are covered by separate guarantees. Hybrid batteries can be covered for up to 15 years on completion of a hybrid battery health check, which is included with a standard Lexus service. Full-EV battery packs are guaranteed to retain at least 80% of their capacity for eight years, with an extra two years available if you get annual battery health checks – also included with a standard service.

Are wheel bearings covered under the Lexus warranty?

Wheel bearings are included in the Lexus 10-year warranty coverage. As a result, if you have a wheel bearing prematurely fail on your Lexus, its repair or replacement will be covered by the policy.

Do used Lexus cars come with a warranty?

Yes. As long as your Lexus is under 10 years old and 100,000 miles, it's eligible for the brand's 10-year extended warranty. All you have to do is take your Lexus to be serviced at a Lexus dealership to unlock each subsequent 12-month period until the car reaches the age or mileage limit.

Does Kia’s warranty transfer?

Yes, Kia’s warranty is transferable to the next owner if the car is less than seven years old and has less than 100,000 miles on the clock – as long as the car has been serviced and maintained to schedule.

Is Kia’s 7-year warranty worth it?

Kia’s seven-year warranty comes as standard on every new car it sells in the UK – you don’t have to pay extra for it. If you’re considering buying a Kia versus a rival car, its long warranty should give you extra peace of mind.

Are Kia warranties good?

Yes, Kia’s seven-year/100,000-mile warranty is one of the best on the market. Like with any manufacturer warranty, you need to stick to the conditions Kia has set out to benefit from the warranty cover – which we’ve listed above.

More carmakers are offering longer warranties to entice customers through their doors.

The industry standard is three years or 60,000 miles of cover. But brands including Toyota, Kia, MG, Chery and Jaecoo all cover their cars for seven years or more. That means lots of nearly new and used cars from these brands still have full factory coverage.

Don't fret if your original warranty has expired, however. You always have the option of buying an extended warranty from your car's manufacturer or a third-party provider (for example, a Motorpoint extended warranty!).

See what's covered by the Motorpoint Extended Warranty:

The 10 best cars with long warranties:

Toyota Yaris Cross
Lexus NX
Suzuki Swift
Peugeot e-3008
Kia Sportage
Jaecoo 7
MG HS
Hyundai Kona
Mazda 3
BYD Atto 3

Toyota Yaris Cross

Warranty length: up to 10 years or 100,000 miles (service activated)

The Toyota Yaris Cross is a sensible car that appeals more to the head than the heart. But, then again, you want a car with a long warranty, so that's probably right up your street! Life with the Yaris Cross is easy – the dashboard is straightforward, the driving experience is simple, and it's just big enough to work as a small family car. What seals the deal here, however, is Toyota's 10-year service-activated warranty. This is made up of a standard three-year warranty, then Toyota will grant you another 12 months of coverage each time you have the car serviced with Toyota, up to a total of 10 years.

Lexus NX

Warranty length: up to 10 years or 100,000 miles (service activated)

Lexus is Toyota's premium brand, blending the carmaker's famed durability with premium design and sumptuous materials. Under the flowing bodywork, the Lexus NX is effectively a Toyota RAV4 and uses the same responsive, efficient hybrid engines. But the plush cabin and soft suspension setup quickly help you forget the NX's humble origins, and mean it's a very calming tool for tackling the daily commute. Like its Toyota brethren, all Lexus models are covered by a 10-year service-activated warranty, with another 12 months warranty cover unlocked each time you service it with Lexus from the fourth year onwards.

Suzuki Swift

Warranty length: up to 10 years or 100,000 miles (service activated)

Brands like Suzuki remind us that reliability and long warranty cover needn't be reserved only for posh, expensive cars. Toyota is a Suzuki shareholder and the brand's influence can be felt in Suzuki's 10-year service-activated warranty, which matches the cover offered by Toyota and Lexus. That means you can enjoy many thousands of trouble-free miles in cars like the Swift hatchback. This is a dependable and likeable little car, with a generous suite of standard kit and fun, light-footed handling.

Peugeot e-3008

Warranty length: up to 8 years or 100,000 miles (service activated)

Peugeot has now launched its own lengthy service-activated warranty that applies specifically to its electric cars. Previously called 'Allure Care' but now just 'Peugeot Care', it consists of three years of regular warranty cover, followed by another five years of service-activated coverage. Peugeot Care coverage launched with the latest generation of e-3008 at the end of 2023, and was progressively rolled out to the rest of the EV range afterwards. It helps that the e-3008 is a compelling package too, with a long electric range, modern design and attractive textile details inside.

Kia Sportage

Warranty length: up to 7 years or 100,000 miles

Every new Kia is sold with a seven-year transferable warranty. That means you can buy a two-year-old Sportage, for example, and still have a whopping five years of warranty cover. We could also talk about how it's an excellent all-round family SUV, with plenty of space for all your gubbins, a long standard equipment list, and a wide choice of hybridised engines. With such a plethora of talents, it's no wonder why the Sportage has topped the best-selling cars list many times over the years.

Jaecoo 7

Warranty length: up to 7 years or 100,000 miles

Jaecoo has landed in the UK with a big splash, leaping up the sales charts in the space of just a few months. And, with its combination of stately styling and cut-throat prices, it's easy to see the appeal. Another benefit to draw new customers to the brand is its seven-year warranty – the same coverage you get from its sister brands, Chery and Omoda. The Jaecoo 7 is the carmaker's best-selling model so far, with a good blend of space and equipment at its price point, plus the option of smooth 'Super Hybrid' engines.

MG HS

Warranty length: up to 7 years or 80,000 miles

MG’s big five-seat family SUV could well be its best-value model. The HS gives you vast amounts of interior space with plenty of room for passengers and cargo, plus a smartly designed interior with tactile infotainment shortcut buttons. There’s even a plug-in hybrid available, which is capable of 75 miles of whisper-quiet eco-friendly electric driving from a fully charged battery. MG's warranty lasts for seven years or 80,000 miles – whichever comes first – and matches most rivals for coverage.

Hyundai Kona

Warranty length: up to 5 years, unlimited miles

Earlier Hyundai Konas weren't always the obvious choice in the small SUV segment, as their compact bodywork meant interior space was tight for families. The latest Kona, however, confidently addresses this issue with a reshaped frame that unlocks much more cabin space for its footprint. It retains the flexible engine range of its predecessor though, with a choice of petrol, hybrid and fully electric models. Hyundai offers a straightforward five years of warranty coverage across its range, so you can rely on the Kona for thousands of fuss-free miles.

Mazda 3

Warranty length: up to 6 years or 100,000 miles (cars registered after 1 September 2025)

Mazda enhanced its warranty cover across the range on 1 September 2025, with all cars registered after this date covered for six years of 100,000 miles. That applies to models like the lovable MX-5 sports car but also more sensible family-oriented cars like the Mazda 3. Like its stablemates, the 3 has smooth, organic styling, a handsome shield-shaped and beady, piercing headlights. You also get a choice of clever, efficient 'Skyactiv' engines under the bonnet, and grippy, agile handling on the road.

BYD Atto 3

Warranty length: up to 6 years or 93,750 miles

BYD is another gigantic Chinese carmaker that's making a big impression in the UK. To help ease new customers into the BYD experience, its standard warranty lasts for six years, or a somewhat specific 93,750 miles (150,000km). Not only that, but coverage for the electric drive unit (the motor) and the high-voltage battery pack lasts for a total of eight years. The Atto 3 itself appears to be a fairly sensible electric SUV but comes with quirky styling features like ribbed dashboard panels and a satisfying airplane-throttle-style gear selector.
