Published corrections

• 9 September 2026 — MG ZS warranty and Hybrid+ fuel-grade corrections: We previously listed South African MG ZS cover as a 7-year/200,000 km vehicle warranty without a registration-date limit. MG South Africa’s current page applies to vehicles registered on or after 01/05/2026 and separates 5 years/150,000 km for the whole vehicle from 7 years/200,000 km for the Power/Traction Battery only on EV/HEV/PHEV models, whichever occurs first in each case. Our pages now make that split explicit; the current source does not resolve earlier registrations or publish the full terms it says dealers hold. The running-costs page also previously presented RON 95 as a single Hybrid+ requirement and used it in a pump-price inference. It now shows the unresolved official-source discrepancy: Australian Government GVG record 34202 for a ZS Hybrid+ released in 2024 says 91RON, while MG Australia’s MY26.5 brochure says RON 95 and above for both Hybrid+ columns. We do not choose between them or claim the variants are equivalent. Finally, our South Africa guide called the source row Battery | 1 year /10,000 km a 12V battery; the source does not name its type, and the page now says so. We found these issues during an internal staleness audit.
• 1 September 2026 — our Privacy Policy said there was no analytics after analytics had started: Cloudflare Web Analytics was switched on for this site on 29 August 2026, to see where visits come from and to keep harmful bots out. Our Privacy Policy went on saying there was none — in its opening line, in its table and in the closing invitation that told readers to count the script tags on the page — until we rewrote it on 1 September 2026: the false statement was live throughout, for two to three days — we did not record the hour the feature was switched on. Nothing about that change was written in the files we publish: the script is added in the copy Cloudflare serves, so the change left no trace in anything we commit and no check of ours was looking at a Cloudflare dashboard. It is the second time a Cloudflare feature has added a script to the served page that our own text did not account for. The first was email-address obfuscation, described on that page on 27 August 2026 and switched off by the time we checked again on 1 September 2026, when our address stood readable in the page source five times over. Switching one feature off closed that case and not the class. The Privacy Policy now names the analytics with the date it started, names Cloudflare as the party holding what it reports, states that we have not measured what it stores in a browser rather than claiming it stores nothing, and says in the conditional that advertising and collection for analytical and marketing purposes may follow. Its verification invitation now matches what we counted ourselves on 1 September 2026: two script tags on the pages we checked, three on the home page. No standing check of ours found this. It surfaced on 1 September 2026 in a live-page check we were running for a different reason — measuring the effect of switching email-address obfuscation off — when we counted the script tags and found one we had not written. The commands and their output are archived with the batch. No reader reported it.
• 30 August 2026 — BYD Atto 3 eight-year total, and a source line that claimed it as ours: our Atto 3 schedule page prints A services at $189, B services at $447 and an eight-year total of $2,390, and it still prints all three unchanged. Those three figures were not what we got wrong — we printed them as they reached us; the frame around them was. Our source line on that page ended “Totals are our arithmetic.” The total was never our arithmetic, and nothing on the page told the reader that the three figures do not reconcile. Four of each at those prices come to $2,544 — and no whole number of A and B services at those prices reaches $2,390 at all, because both prices divide by three and $2,390 does not. All three figures reached us the same way: BYD’s official program announcement, as covered by multiple independent outlets, not a dealer price table. The authorised network listed the Atto 3 among its models but published no price schedule for it when we checked on 29 August 2026, so we had no second table to check the figures against — but re-adding the rows of our own table needs no second table, and that is the check we had not run. The page now marks the total as reported rather than our sum and carries a note explaining the gap — we have not adjusted any of them into agreement with the others. The source line no longer claims the total as our arithmetic. The error was live for nine days before we caught it: the page published on 21 August 2026, and our language gate found it on 30 August 2026, during a closing pass. Our language gate now re-adds every printed total on the pages it reviews, from the rows of each page’s own table, whether or not the batch changed the total.
• 28 August 2026 — three claims corrected on our fault-code pages: (a) MG P0087. The page told readers that premature low-pressure fuel-pump failures on the older MG3 appear in the Australian used-car assessments, and linked our MG3 problems page as the evidence. No such pattern exists in that research: it records five owner patterns, none of them a fuel pump, and the only fuel item on the linked page is the 2021 fuel-tank strap recall — a tank-retention fault, not a fuel-supply one. The claim is withdrawn and the page now states the absence instead. (b) Chery P0300. Stale fuel and infrequent engine cycles on plug-in models were described as “documented hybrid-family behaviours”. We hold no Chery record on either; they are now named as general plug-in traits, with the gap stated. (c) BYD P0A80. The Sealion 7’s Power Limited pattern was called “well-documented” when it rests on a single source, and an English sentence appeared in quotation marks that was our own translation of our own research note — not an external quotation. The strength is now stated as single-source and the false quotation removed. All three were found by our own data-currency audit, not by a reader.
• 27 August 2026 — MG HS fluids, two corrections: (a) Second-generation cooling circuits. The note explaining which figures we were withholding said the extra cooling circuits belonged to the hybrid variants, with what it called the traction battery “on the PHEV”. Both attributions were reversed. The manual prints the power-battery coolant capacity against the column it heads 1.5T - HEV, and prints the water-cooled intercooler capacity against the DCT and manual columns — not against the hybrid columns. The rows are now published under the column headings the manual itself uses, and the two capacities it leaves blank are named as blanks rather than guessed. (b) First-generation brake fluid, refrigerant and engine coolant. The same page gave brake fluid as 1.0 L, A/C refrigerant as 560±20 g and engine coolant as 5.8 L under a heading reading “first generation”, while counting the PHEV as first generation elsewhere on the page. The first-generation PHEV manual prints 0.8 L, 750±20 g and 5 L. The three PHEV figures now sit beside the non-PHEV figures that had been standing in for them — brake fluid and refrigerant as two columns of the fluids table, the coolant as two rows of the coolant table above it. The three PHEV figures come from one document, the first-generation PHEV manual, and it reached our archive on 27 August 2026: the figures were right against the documents we held when we wrote them and wrong against the documents we hold now, which is why a growing archive sends a page back for re-checking and not only a reader’s email. Neither correction came from a reader. Both errors had been live on the fluids page before we caught them: the first by reading the rendered printed pages instead of trusting our text extraction, the second by our own gates, starting with the language gate.
• 22 August 2026 — GWM Ora recall coverage: our GWM recalls tracker stated the Ora had “zero Australian recalls to date”. That was wrong: recall REC-005843 (December 2023, 1,659 cars) covers a charging-safety software fault — unplugging the cable without cancelling the charge can draw an electrical arc. The recall predates our tracker’s launch and was missed in the original registry sweep; a re-verification pass found it. The tracker and the Ora guidance now include it, and our weekly recall check has been widened to sweep the full official registry listing — not just per-model searches — so an omission of this kind is caught structurally, not by luck.
• 21 August 2026 — BYD service-schedule totals: five BYD schedule pages briefly showed hand-typed multi-service totals that disagreed with the sum of the listed prices (largest error: $1,000 on the Sealion 7). Our programmatic verification caught the mismatch within minutes of publication; all five totals now equal the sum of the rows shown. The per-service prices themselves were correct throughout.
• 20 August 2026 — Chery Tiggo 7 generations (Australia): our Tiggo 7 hub initially described the current Australian petrol range as “1.6T DCT (2WD & AWD)”, following the naming on Chery’s official service-pricing page. Government Green Vehicle Guide data shows two generations sold side by side: the Tiggo 7 Pro 1.6T (2023–2025, 95 RON) and the new Tiggo 7 1.5T (2025-on, 91 RON). The hub now presents both, including the fuel-grade difference. Corrected same day.
