Calibration and certificate
The centre runs the manufacturer-spec calibration and issues your certificate on completion. Any diagnostic scan the job needs is itemised on the quote, never folded in silently.
MG calibration prices
Network rates, the same at every service centre, whichever MG is on the ramp. Every price is per system, shown inc VAT with the net figure alongside. Your total is confirmed in writing before anything is booked.
Calibration — per system
Coding a replaced part to your vehicle
- When your job needs a diagnostic scan, it's £54 inc VAT (£45 +VAT), always itemised as its own line. It shows which systems were live before work started.
- Two or more systems in one visit: the highest-priced system is full price, each additional system is 35% off at a centre. Scans aren't part of the discount. Front camera and front radar together come to £267.30 inc VAT (£222.75 +VAT).
- A replaced camera or radar is coded to the vehicle and then calibrated, so a replacement job is the coding line above plus the calibration for that system, with the multi-system discount applied at a centre. Your written quote itemises both.
- On mobile trade visits only: if the technician attends and the calibration can't be completed, a sensor fitted misaligned for example, a call-out fee of up to £72 inc VAT (£60 +VAT) applies.
- Mobile calibration is available for garages and bodyshops with workshop conditions. Ask us.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Our coverage table above lists the ZS EV from 2019, MG4 from 2022, MG5 from 2020, HS from 2018 and the Cyberster from 2024. Most variants carry MG Pilot ADAS with forward radar, forward camera and supporting sensors, and our service centres run the calibration with manufacturer-spec equipment.
The HS shows up most often from owners we hear from, usually after a front radar issue. The MG4 EV is the newer car and its typical trigger is windscreen swap or bumper repair. The Cyberster is the newest and rarest, almost always windscreen-triggered when it shows up. Send the registration with your enquiry so we can confirm the procedure for your variant.
Because the front radar on the HS feeds both Adaptive Cruise Control and the emergency braking system, and a 'slight knock' rarely leaves the radar aim where it started. A typical HS case looks exactly like this: front radar knocked out of alignment, then reseated, then warning lights appeared for ACC and emergency braking.
Reseating the radar by hand gets it close, but ACC and AEB read the aim to within a degree. Even a careful manual reseat leaves enough drift to flag both systems within a few miles of driving. The fix is the MG Pilot calibration run with manufacturer-spec equipment, which sets the radar back to factory aim and clears both systems together. Our service centres carry the tooling and issue a certificate after the job.
Yes. A typical MG5 EV case: the driver's door mirror comes off and goes back on during a bodywork repair, and the 360 camera needs recalibrating afterwards.
The surround cameras on the MG5 include feeds from the door mirrors, and any mirror removal shifts the camera's reference relative to the car. The 360 stitching software reads that shift and either flags a calibration request or produces a misaligned overhead view.
Our service centres run the MG surround camera calibration with manufacturer-spec equipment. The procedure is separate from the forward radar calibration, so if the same car had both mirror work and front-end work, both calibrations run in the same workshop visit.
Mainly two ways depending on what was damaged. On the MG4 EV this usually lands one of two ways, both after accident damage. If the front bumper and bumper radar were replaced, the procedure is the MG Pilot forward radar calibration with manufacturer-spec equipment. If the windscreen also went, the forward camera calibration runs alongside.
Send a description of what was replaced or repaired when you enquire. Our service centres will quote a fixed price covering the procedures needed, which is more useful than the dealer's 'quoted after inspection' framing for an accident-damaged car. The certificate records the post-job readings against MG's tolerances, the same standard a dealer issues, and sits on the car's service history. That matters when the work flows through an insurance claim.
Dealer quotes customers have shown us for ADAS work run £300 to £900. Quoted after inspection is the usual framing, and it reflects MG's main-dealer overhead spread across a growing UK dealer footprint. The hourly rate covers tooling, training and showroom costs.
Our service centres carry MG manufacturer-spec equipment and price per system. Front camera calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT), front radar is the same, with the full rate card on this page. Two or more systems in one visit: the highest-priced system is full price and each additional system is 35% off at a centre. Same procedure, same manufacturer-spec result, priced per system instead of per hour. The HS, MG4, MG5 and ZS all run through the same workshop process with the same tooling base.
The certificate we issue documents the calibration and sits on the car's service history alongside any MG dealer record. For an owner whose MG flagged after a parking knock or bumper repair, you get the itemised total in writing before anything is booked.
