This 2004 Rover has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 19,130 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of wear and the 2013 service gap warrant careful consideration.

Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Mar 2007) escalated to a major failure (Apr 2008).

- Rear brake pad advisory (Oct 2010) indicates ongoing wear and potential future costs.
- The 2013 MOT gap suggests a period of inactivity or lack of maintenance.
Working in its favour

- No DANGEROUS defects are recorded in the MOT history.
- The car has been consistently retested and repaired after failures, showing responsive ownership.
