...'This is Money contacted MG Motor UK Limited for clarification of the load capacity and if the roof rails and other accessories are unable to carry weight.
A spokesman for the brand said: 'As a vehicle importer we take the safety of our cars and our customers very seriously.
'With MG5 EV, we initially believed that the car was approved to carry weight on its roof, but we have since become aware of some missing engineering data meaning that we are – at present – unable to confirm this, so have taken the safest possible action of advising our customers not to carry a load on the roof until we can confirm otherwise.
'We have already carried out testing with mass being carried on the car's roof rails and have seen satisfactory results but are awaiting the final confirmation from durability testing that is still ongoing.

Cheers everybody!
Spoke to a mechanic about this car and he said the body shell is unmodified from the ICE-powered models, so the floorpan is stamped for the fuel tank and if you lift the rear seat squab, you'll find the redundant cover to access the fuel sender unit.
