MG tempts the buyers with a raft of offers for the September plate change month.

Building on the recent successful launch of the MG6 and the ever popular MG3, MG Motor UK is gearing up to what is predicted to be a record September for the brand with the arrival of the new 65 plate.

Year on year, MG Motor UK’s sales figures have continued to rise as more and more people are looking to a brand that offers cars with unrivalled prices and far more specification than competitors.

The much-loved MG3 has continued its success from the day it launched in 2013. This supermini offers millions of personalisation options and, with the range starting from as a little as £8,399 on the road, it’s easy to see why so many people have fallen for the fun-packed and stylish car.

The new MG6, which was launched earlier this year, now offers customers much higher levels of specification. The entry-level model, from £13,995, boasts features such as heated seats, front LED daytime running lamps (DRL) and an electronic parking brake.

Both of the models are currently available on 0% finance and, with the growing network of dealers, it’s the perfect time to book in for a test drive. The MG dealer network currently stands at 65; with more confirmed and planned for the near future. 

The most recent to join the network were Ullswater Road Garage, Penrith and Roadworthy, Bristol.

Matthew Cheyne, Head of Sales and Marketing for MG, said: “With our dealer network expanding, our aim is to make it easier for our customers to find a showroom local to them. We want people to re-discover the MG brand and test drives these models, so they can see for themselves what great value for money they are.

“It is undeniable that our prices and levels of specification are incomparable with other brands so, if you’re thinking of treating yourself to a new car, why not make it an MG; especially with 0% finance.”

Dacia tempts buyers with a series of offers to make the brand even more affordable, You Do The Maths.

Cost-conscious car buyers keen to get behind the wheel of a new 65-plate Dacia this autumn will find a typically straightforward offer at their local dealer…a generous manufacturer deposit contribution and an extended warranty on their favourite model.

The offer, which shaves up to £750 off the initial deposit payment and adds an automatic 5-year/60,000 mile warranty, makes owning a Dacia more ‘shockingly affordable’ than ever and delivers even greater value for money from a brand already voted the number one ‘bang for your buck’ brand by consumers.

Available across the range (excluding Access versions) the no-nonsense offer means customers choosing the Sandero supermini, still the UK’s most affordable car at £5,995 RRP, the nation’s lowest priced estate – the Logan MCV – priced from £6,995 RRP and the Sandero Stepway compact crossover, available from £8,395 RRP, will receive a £500 manufacturer deposit contribution towards their down payment.

All eligible models will automatically come with the free 5-year/60,000 mile warranty but buyers can opt for the added protection and value of a 7-year/100,000 mile warranty for a one-off fee of just £395 RRP – a saving of £455 over the usual price.

As ever, Dacia’s supremely flexible and easy-to-understand finance options allow buyers to tailor a payment solution that’s right for them. Buyers are able to specify a deposit of between 0% and 90% and payments over anywhere from 12 to 60 months on Hire Purchase finance solutions.

The offers further strengthen Dacia’s position as the nation’s favourite value car brand, giving buyers yet more motorcar for their money.

This year, the brand was ranked number one of all car manufacturers for value for money in the hugely important Auto Express Driver Power 2015 survey and also came first for overall brand satisfaction in theWhich? Car Guide 2015/16. Both polls measured the opinions of real Dacia owners.

Peugeot's Just Add Fuel has been exteded to include 18 year olds, on the 108 City Car.

• Now available to drivers aged 18-20 for the first time
• State-of-the-art plug-in telematics device tracks vehicle use
• Available on PEUGEOT 108 priced from just £248 rental per month** and no initial payment.

Just Add Fuel™is PEUGEOT’s innovative and unique fixed-cost motoring package – and now it’s available to teenage drivers.

Since launch in July 2010, over 27,000 UK drivers have taken advantage of Just Add Fuel™from PEUGEOT. Along with being hassle free, its low single monthly payment to cover all motoring costs and exceptional value for money have been the appealing factors.

But it has only been available to drivers aged 21 or older – until now. PEUGEOT has again rewritten the retail rule book and, thanks to the use of advanced telematics technology, younger drivers can benefit for the first time.

Just Add Fuel™is an innovation which has had a significant influence on UK car-buying patterns. It includes:

• A single monthly payment to cover all motoring costs
• No need to budget for insurance, servicing, road fund licence*, and roadside assistance costs – they are all included
• No need to search for cheaper insurance each year
• Fixed price motoring for three years means peace of mind
• A completely transparent motoring package with no hidden costs
• The opportunity to drive a new car every three years, so no MOT costs

Insurance industry data reveals that, statistically, drivers aged 18-20 are at the highest risk of being involved an accident. Working closely with its policy provider, PEUGEOT is launching a comprehensive fixed cost motoring package which takes that into account.

Neil Moscrop, PEUGEOT Brand Director commented: “Just Add Fuel is recognised as the most significant innovation in vehicle retailing for a number of years. Now we can widen its appeal even further, allowing a broader spectrum of drivers to experience the thrill of owning a new PEUGEOT car.”

Just Add Fuel™for those aged 18-20 is only available to PEUGEOT 108 buyers and is priced from just £248 rental per month**. 

The secret is a discreet plug-in telematics device; sent to customers immediately after they take delivery of the popular city car, it attaches to the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) port under the steering wheel. It’s a simple installation which they can do themselves, though their PEUGEOT Dealer will be happy to help if required.

Via satellite tracking, it stores and sends data on the vehicle’s speed, acceleration, deceleration and lateral G-forces. This is used to assess the customer’s driving style and rate each journey made, on a scale from 1–100. Customers will have access to an online portal where they can review their driving activity.

This is also regularly monitored by the insurer and an aggregate score awarded. Feedback is provided to assist the customer in improving this if necessary. If the score falls below an agreed threshold, the driver will receive a warning. 

Four warnings a year will result in the insurance policy being cancelled. This may reduce the number of insurance products available to the customer, and/or increase the premiums they are quoted.

Terms and conditions apply, including a requirement for a full UK driving licence, permanent UK residency and no ‘fault’ insurance claims.

Just Add Fuel™with telematics is also available to PEUGEOT 108 buyers aged 21-75 who do not have two years’ No Claims Discount, or have held a full UK driver’s licence for less than two years.

Despite being part of the new car retailing landscape for five years, Just Add Fuel™remains unique to PEUGEOT.

*Road Fund Licence on a PEUGEOT 108 is £0.

**Minimum age 18, maximum age 75. 

Drivers are required to install the Telematics Box & consent to Data capture & transmission to qualify for insurance. 

All drivers must hold a full UK licence & meet eligibility criteria including limits on driving convictions & claims. 

Insurance subject to cancellation if you receive four warnings for poor driving.  

Excesses apply. 3 years motor insurance is provided and underwritten by U K Insurance Limited which is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority.

This offer is not available in Northern Ireland.

Peugeot to look forward to the '65' plate change with excellent 2008 crossover.

• Strong demand for 65-plate compact Crossover expected from 1st September
• PEUGEOT 2008 brings new sophistication to the market, with contemporary design flair and versatile interior
• Grip Control standard on selected models, offering enhanced traction

Customer demand for ‘a car for all seasons’ means Compact Crossover sales continue to rise in the UK. Buy a brand new 65-registration PEUGEOT 2008 from next month and get the perfect mix of practicality and desirability. Furthermore, choose a model with the brand’s acclaimed Grip Control technology and it will provide exceptional performance all year round, whatever the weather.

More than 30,000 UK customers have bought a PEUGEOT 2008 since its showroom launch two years ago. Expected to be popular with September new car buyers is the 2008 Urban Cross special edition, featuring Grip Control as standard. This system uses electronic driver aids, coupled with special tyres, to offer drivers greater traction.

Based on Allure trim level, the Urban Cross includes: rear Parking Aid, unique Urban Cross badging, side decals and electric, heated and folding door mirrors. It’s priced from just £16,495 OTR.

Standard on every PEUGEOT 2008 is an athletic design, engaging driving experience, high levels of equipment, comfort and outstanding quality in materials and finish. A choice of eight striking interior trims and five different alloy wheels are available.

Bringing a new level of innovation to the Crossover, it combines PEUGEOT’s expertise from two sectors – the smart design and versatile packaging of the 3008 Crossover and the small car performance of the 208 Supermini.

With a characterful presence, the PEUGEOT 2008 is intended for young city-dwellers who love the urban environment, but also enjoy escaping it! Power comes from the latest generation of efficient PEUGEOT BlueHDi diesel and award-winning, ‘Engine of the Year’ three-cylinder PureTech petrol engines. CO₂emissions are as low as 95g/km, while combined cycle fuel economy is as high as 78.5mpg.

The interior of the PEUGEOT 2008 provides the driver and passengers with a spacious and flexible cabin, with a cockpit-style instrument panel and aircraft-type handbrake. A smart satin chrome finish to the air vents, handbrake lever, steering wheel, gear lever and touch-screen trims all create a genuinely premium feel.

Folding the 60:40 split rear bench increases the boot volume from 360 to 1,194 litres. One press of the button at the top of the rear seat back is all it takes to fold the seat, as the base cushion retracts automatically. The wide tailgate and low loading lip – just 60cm off the ground – allows exceptional ease of use.

Priced from just £13,195, the PEUGEOT 2008 is available to buy using the brand’s innovative ‘Just Add Fuel^TM’ finance package. Combining all motoring costs into a single monthly payment, the PEUGEOT 2008 Active PureTech 1.2-litre 82bhp is available for £199pcm, over 36 months, following a deposit of £2,080 (4.9% APR).

Check out the stats for the Peugeot 308 with the '65' plate change imminent, is this THEE car to get ?

• Strong demand expected ahead of 65-plate change
• Exceptional value for money from 2014 European Car of the Year hatchback and SW
• Great offers for September buyers

Performance, style, economy, efficiency and versatility – the PEUGEOT 308 is the one car which has it all. The 2014 European Car of the Year winning compact family hatchback is the perfect choice if you're considering a new ‘65-plate’ model from 1^st September.

Over 22,000 have been sold in the UK since the car was launched 18 months ago and its striking design has been key to that success.

The 308’s sleek exterior gives the car a genuine contemporary presence on the road, though it’s the beautifully executed cabin that has stolen the hearts from many discerning drivers. 

The premium PEUGEOT ‘i-Cockpit’ interior is a real game-changer for PEUGEOT. Driver-focused and minimalist, like nothing else in the segment, it offers a state of the art 9.7-inch touchscreen which takes in-car infotainment to a high level.

The beating heart of the 308 is its range of ultra-efficient PureTech petrol and BlueHDi diesel engines. 

Mated to a choice of advanced manual or automatic transmissions, the result is exceptional environmental performance, no matter which model is chosen. Combined Cycle fuel economy is as high as 91.1mpg with CO₂ emissions as low as 82g/km – figures with mouth watering appeal to both retail and corporate customers.

For drivers seeking extra practicality for families or larger loads, the 308 SW makes an excellent ‘head and heart’ choice. Its generous boot space is among the best in the segment with an impressive 660 litres below the parcel shelf, including 70 litres hidden under the boot floor for extra security. 

‘Magic Flat’ rear seats are standard and the ‘instant folding’ system – available thanks to levers accessible on both sides of the boot – is simple and intuitive to use. For outstanding versatility, it creates a flat floor and a massive 1,660 litres of luggage space.

With prices starting from only £14,995 for the hatchback, there’s a PEUGEOT 308 for every customer. The high level of standard equipment across the range includes DAB digital radio, air-conditioning, remote central locking and cruise control.

From Access trim, through Sportium, Active and Allure, the specification is a desirable mix of comfort, convenience and technology. Broadening the range further, the 308 GT adds a touch of performance, with the choice of a 1.6-litre e-THP 205 manual, or 2.0-litre BlueHDi 180 automatic under the bonnet.

The 308 GT is supported by the 308 GT Line, which features much of the look of its sporty sibling but with a wider range of economical engines.

The letters ‘GTi’ have long been associated with PEUGEOT performance and after a triumphant unveiling earlier this summer at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the flagship 308 will soon be in Dealerships. Developed by PEUGEOT SPORT, it’s designed to offer a thrilling and unparalleled driving experience with power outputs of 250hp and 270hp. It will be available on a 65-plate from November.

Paying for your new 65-plate PEUGEOT 308 couldn't be easier. Passport finance is ideal for customers who like to change their car every three years, and means fixed monthly payments for simple budgeting.

For example, you can drive away a new PEUGEOT 308 Active 1.2-litre e-THP 110 S&S (RRP £18,065), with a deposit of £2,840 and 36 monthly payments of just £225. That includes a Peugeot incentivised deposit contribution of £700.

It all adds up, so chose any number, and then …

Add the number of models currently available in the 308 range (Add 28)

Multiply that by the current number of trim levels available on 308 (Multiply by 6)

Subtract that number by the number of cylinders of the PureTech engine (Subtract 3)

Divide the number of types of paintwork - solid, metallic & pearlescent (Divide by 3)

Subtract the original number (Subtract the original chosen number)

Then add the number of colours of 308 (Add 11)

Subtract the original number (Subtract the original chosen number)

Add the number metres the 308 can easily turn within, between kerbs (Add 11)

Multiply this number by the number of cylinders in the BlueHDi engine (Multiply by 4)

Voilà
