Verdict
SUV électrique de 5 places, dont les propriétaires de Fiches-auto (32 témoignages) apprécient la finition et l'équipement. Les défauts relevés tiennent à l'électronique : chargeur AC, écran central, poignées de porte affleurantes et batterie 12 V. Tous viennent d'une seule source : essayez la recharge sur borne AC et l'écran avant d'acheter.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- Emissions of the versions in this guide: 0 g CO₂/km (check the value on the car's registration certificate).
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Inspection checklist
MG Marvel R I — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Tester la recharge sur une borne AC et sur une borne rapide DC : démarrage, interruption, message d'erreur.
- Utiliser l'écran central : gel, redémarrage, accès à la climatisation et à la navigation.
- Essayer chaque poignée de porte affleurante, à froid si possible.
- Demander si la batterie 12 V a déjà été remplacée et quelle mise à jour logicielle est installée.
- Contrôler le calibrage des aides à la conduite et l'ouverture du coffre automatique, signalés à réparer chez un propriétaire.
Questions to ask the seller
- La recharge AC a-t-elle toujours fonctionné ? Y a-t-il eu un remplacement du chargeur embarqué ?
- Quelles pannes ou interventions sous garantie (écran, poignées, batterie 12 V, capteurs) la voiture a-t-elle eues ?
- Quelle version (propulsion 180 ch ou intégrale 288 ch) et combien de garantie reste-t-il ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
