Morgan Plus Four / Plus Six (CX-Generation) Problems by Year
The CX-Generation represents a revolution for Morgan, replacing the century-old steel ladder chassis with a state-of-the-art bonded aluminium platform while retaining the traditional ash-wood body frame and classic styling. Powered by modern, turbocharged BMW engines (a 2.0L four-cylinder in the Plus Four and a 3.0L inline-six in the Plus Six), they offer vastly improved performance, handling, and daily usability. In the UK, they bridge the gap between vintage charm and modern sports car capability. Reliability is excellent, underpinned by the bulletproof BMW drivetrains. It perfectly suits buyers who want classic looks and craftsmanship but demand modern starting reliability and brisk performance.

- ✓Check the BMW-sourced automatic gearbox (if fitted) for smooth shifts, particularly when cold.
- ✓Inspect the wire wheels (on Plus Four) or alloy wheels (Plus Six) for any signs of curbing or damage.
- ✓Verify the fit and finish of the traditional ash frame and hand-beaten aluminium panels, ensuring panel gaps are even.
- ✓Test the modern digital dashboard and infotainment screen (if fitted) to ensure they operate without glitches.
- ✓Check the condition of the mohair hood; it is vastly improved over classic models but still requires careful folding.
- ✓Ensure the vehicle has a full service history; while the engine is BMW, the chassis requires Morgan specialist knowledge.
