The Issue with MGs is not the elec motors or the battery;
its the other components common with the ICE models.

I see the ICE models regularly at my local garage and there's
a host of early failures . Its fine to have extend warranty on the main
components of the powertrain but there'd more to a car than the powertrain.

While some of MG woes are addressed initially by the extend powertrain warranty
and/or being EV;items such as electronics failure and Rusting are common to the EVs, IMO.

MG Cons
Gearbox and Transmission issues:
Some MG models have experienced problems with the gearbox and transmission, leading to issues such as slow gearchanges and stuck gears.
Head Gasket failure: Head gasket failures have been reported in certain MG models, causing coolant depletion and overheating.Premature Rusting: Some MG cars, especially the 2019 MG Hector and MG S, have been prone to premature rusting issues.
ABS Warning Light failure: MG ZS models have had intermittent ABS warning light issues, potentially indicating problems with the antilock braking system.
Oil Leaking issues: Oil leaks have been reported in various MG models, often stemming from gasket covers, pressure hoses, filters, or plugs.

IMO, these extended powertrain warranties are code for product development while
you own the car instead of the R&D been done prior to the model's release and
not at your expense while the car is off the road.

Mooroo,
The discussion was not on the virtues of MG cars or otherwise.
I was merely pointing out the possibly significant fact that the warranty on MG cars was such that the manufacturer was prepared to offer more on the ice than the ev.
This is not uncommon across the industry?
It just doesn't fit with the ''common sense'' based anecdotes on blogs , about relative reliabilities.
How is your experience with the recent Outlander phev?
cheers
