There were not enough MOT tests of GWM Ora 03s in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.
GWM Ora 03 safety recalls
DVSA lists 2 safety recalls for the GWM Ora 03 since 1992, the first in 2023. The most recent was launched on 14 November 2023.
On affected vehicles if the Auxiliary charge (3 pin) cable is used with household extension leads and/or substandard domestic wall sockets for an extended period there is a possibility of the auxiliary charge cable 3 pin plug having a high electrical resistance causing excessive heat build-up. This in extreme cases may cause a failure of the 3-pin cable. If the vehicle is unlocked via the remote fob key during the AC charging process voltage is still present for a further 15 seconds within the charge socket. If the cable is unplugged from the car within this 15 second window there is a possibility of an electrical spark occurring.

Defect
On affected vehicles if the Auxiliary charge (3 pin) cable is used with household extension leads and/or substandard domestic wall sockets for an extended period there is a possibility of the auxiliary charge cable 3 pin plug having a high electrical resistance causing excessive heat build-up. This in extreme cases may cause a failure of the 3-pin cable. If the vehicle is unlocked via the remote fob key during the AC charging process voltage is still present for a further 15 seconds within the charge socket. If the cable is unplugged from the car within this 15 second window there is a possibility of an electrical spark occurring.
Remedy
The existing 13 amp 3-pin cable will be replaced with a 10 Amp cable to prevent excessive heat build-up and the vehicle charging protocol software will be updated to the latest version.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every GWM Ora 03. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
