AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2004 Rover has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 16,344 miles. While it passed its only MOT, the vehicle's age and low mileage make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows only 16,344 miles over 22 years, a significant anomaly from the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, suggesting potential odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 16,344 miles over 22 years (Jan 2004).
  • Mileage anomaly indicates potential odometer fraud, a critical safety concern.
  • Vehicle is 22 years old with only 6 MOT tests recorded, suggesting long periods of inactivity.
  • First MOT not until Oct 2011 (7 years late), raising questions about its roadworthiness history.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • No MOT failures recorded on the single test in Oct 2011.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, low annual mileage pattern since its first MOT.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate from Oct 2011, albeit late for its age.
