2026 MGU9 EV Onboard Scales: 685kg payload is not a calibration value

Australian MY26 MGU9 EV Onboard Scales, 685kg payload and 3500kg gross vehicle mass are separate entries, not weighing-system test thresholds.

After loading, the vehicle’s weight information differs from the owner’s estimate, prompting an order for a “load-bed weighing sensor”. For the Australian MY26 MGU9 EV, separating Onboard Scales from the published payload figures makes the inspection request more precise.

The function and vehicle mass are separate entries

Page 3 lists Onboard Scales; page 2 separately gives 685kg payload and 3500kg gross vehicle mass.[Manufacturer technical table][S16] These mass figures are not calibration values, accuracy ranges or acceptance thresholds for an individual reading.

The Onboard Scales name also does not explain sensor count, position or the existence of a separately purchasable “load-bed weighing module”. [To be verified]

Retain the original display and actual loading record

Record the original screen content, loading condition, existing accessories and changes before and after repair. Label the owner’s estimate, vehicle display and repairer’s measurement by their respective sources rather than combining them into one inspection result.

If a parts request follows, have the repairer state the confirmed object and add its original identity. This article provides no calibration or loading calculation method. The feature entry identifies the system; specific usage conditions and safe-load requirements need separate checks against the vehicle’s manufacturer information.

Scope and verification

This article covers only Australia, MY26, MG MGU9, the separately listed MY26 MGU9 EV configuration; no additional trim name is given in the table; excluding diesel versions.[Scope reference][S16] The cited product specifications identify functions and parts; they are not fault or replacement criteria.

No public data was available in the reviewed material for weighing principle, measurement and calibration conditions, accuracy, sensor construction, rated-load calculation details or inspection parameters; OE numbers, repair parameters, separate parts availability or compatibility/interchangeability. [To be verified] Check compatibility or interchangeability using the VIN and the local Australian manufacturer parts catalogue.

For the parts discussed here, use the parts enquiry page.
