  • Warranty & Returns
    What is the warranty Period?
    Unless otherwise stated all products are fully warranted against defects in material and workmanship for 12 months from the date of invoice.
    Please contact us immediately if any problems occur within this warranty period.

    Claims are limited to the cost of the warranted component and do not extend to cover garage labour, delivery or any other consequential costs.
    No warranty claim will be accepted if failure is caused by: Misuse, Neglect, Overheating (Engines), Incorrect Installation or failure of a related component.
    Any replacement under warranty will have the benefit of the outstanding balance of the warranty given with the original product.
    With any claim or correspondence, a copy of the purchase invoice must be provided.
    The warranty is in addition to and does not detract from your statutory right as a consumer.
     
    Returning goods under Warranty or for Reconditioning purposes outside of the United Kingdom:

    Customers wishing to return goods from outside of the United Kingdom must state within all courier and customs documentation the reason for the return as being  ‘Returned for repair’ or “Warranty Return”. This is to avoid MGOC Spares Ltd incurring customs charges (VAT & Duty) for goods returned under warranty outside of the United Kingdom.  Please note, that any customs charges incurred by MGOC Spares Ltd on goods returned outside of the United Kingdom will be chargeable to the customer.
    In order to avoid this, please ensure that documentation is correctly completed and use a delivery and duty pre-paid service (DDP).

    If the returned item(s) is inspected and eligible for warranty support, the return freight costs will be reimbursed subject to proof of costs being supplied and that these charges are deemed reasonable.  On this basis we recommend that customers use an economically priced service when returning goods from overseas.

    Items received outside of our warranty terms will not be eligible for reimbursement of goods and/or refund of carriage costs. 

    Warranty Handling Policy

    Our warranty terms, as accepted at the time of purchase, outline the scope of our liability and the customer's responsibilities. The warranty is limited and excludes costs resulting from improper use, incorrect installation, neglect, engine overheating, related component failures, competition use (e.g., racing, rallying, or time trials), unauthorised repairs, or modifications by the customer or third parties.

    Warranty claims are restricted to the replacement cost of the warrantied component(s) and do not cover labour charges, loss of income, travel expenses, or other consequential costs. Warranty handling is exclusively managed by MGOC Spares, and liability is not accepted for costs incurred outside these terms.

    To ensure efficient resolution and preserve your rights under our terms, customers must follow our warranty procedure. Warranty handling is under the express direction of MGOC Spares and no other party. No liability will be accepted for costs incurred by the customer or a third-party due to actions taken by the customer, or a third-party outside of these terms.  The customer is required to follow our warranty procedure so that we can address issues efficiently, to protect the customer’s rights under our terms of sale and in mitigation of cost(s) for either party. Failure to do so may result in withdrawal of warranty support; however, we will always explain such decisions clearly.

    The warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship for 12 months from the purchase date (or longer if specified for certain products). Remedies include repair, replacement, or refund at our discretion. This warranty is in addition to statutory rights under UK law.

    How to Report a Warranty Issue:

    Review the product manual or relevant guidance on our website.

    If you believe the product is defective, contact our customer service team:
    Phone: +44 (0) 1954 230 928 (Mon-Fri 08:30-17:30, Sat 09:00-12:00 GMT)
    Email: sales@mgocspares.co.uk

  • Old Unit Returns (Customer Own Units, One for One, and Exchange)
    How does it work? 
    Some items are no longer available brand new and so we offer refurbished items on an exchange basis. In order for us to carry on providing these items, we need your core units returned to be refurbished in the future, and we charge a surcharge so that we can then cover us if we need to purchase old units but also as an incentive for you to return the old unit.
     
    There are 3 types of refurbished items and you will see the following references on those items 
     

    Exchange

    These are items where we have a stock of core units that we get refurbished on a regular basis but in order to continue to be able to provide refurbished products we need to keep a good stock of core units so you will be charged a surcharge that will be refunded to you upon receipt and inspection of your old unit. 
    The old unit returned must be complete and serviceable and drained of any fluids, it must be identical to the unit you were supplied. 
    Failure to comply with these requirements will result in your surcharge being retained. 
    We bear no responsibility for items returned surplus to the original units.

    Core units must be returned within 90 days of purchase. Surcharges will not be refunded if the old unit is received after this period.

    One For One (141)

    One for one means that we have an extremely limited source of core units, so you will not be charged a surcharge but your order will be held until we have received and inspected your old unit. 
    The old unit returned must be complete and serviceable and drained of any fluids, it must be identical to the unit you are purchasing. 
    We bear no responsibility for items returned surplus to the original units.
    141 orders are not charged until the return 141 unit/s have been verified as correct, complete & deemed serviceable. 
    Any additional costs extra to standard reconditioning process to serviceable will be advised to customer prior to works commencing and acceptance sought.    
    We reserve the right to refuse supply of 141 items subject to condition. In such instances the order will be cancelled and your old unit returned to you at cost.
     

    Customer Own Unit (COU)

    Customer own unit refers to items where we have no core units available to refurbish so we will need to have your item sent to us first and then we can send it away for refurbishment.
    In this instance, you will not be charged for your order until your unit has been returned to us refurbished, we will then call you to take payment and arrange delivery. 
    We bear no responsibility for items returned surplus to the original units.
    COU orders are not charged until the return unit/s have been verified as correct, complete & deemed serviceable. 
    Any additional costs extra to standard reconditioning process to serviceable will be advised to customer prior to works commencing and acceptance sought.    
    We reserve the right to refuse supply of COU items subject to condition. In such instances the order will be cancelled and your old unit returned to you at cost.
     

    When returning old units on exchange, 1-4-1 or Customer Own Unit basis, the old unit must be complete, assembled and drained of any fluids.  Ancillaries, which are not included the reconditioning should not be included.  MGOC Spares reserves the right to charge for disassembly. You will be informed of any additional applicable charges and this will be deducted from your core refund or charged in advance of COU re-work.
