MG EPC is the online SAIC EPC catalog for MG, available worldwide through VINsearch. Decode any MG VIN, open the exact assembly diagram, and read off the genuine OEM part number — all in the browser, with no desktop install.
What is MG EPC?
MG EPC is the electronic parts catalog MG technicians and parts specialists rely on to identify genuine components. Built on SAIC EPC — MG's factory parts data reaching back to vehicles from the marque's earlier model years — it maps every vehicle to its exact build via the VIN.
From engine internals to body panels and electrical connectors, every group is drawn as an exploded diagram with part numbers, quantities and supersession history.

MG EPC vs free viewers and aftermarket lookups
Free single-brand viewers and aftermarket cross-reference tools are fine for a rough guess, but they lag behind factory data and miss supersessions. MG EPC reads from SAIC EPC directly, so the number you see is the number MG currently ships — which is exactly what prevents wrong-part returns.
What a MG part number looks like
Numbers issued by SAIC and MG follow one house format, so the shape of a number tells you who issued it before you open a diagram.
