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 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 28,503 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the vehicle's age and past failures warrant a thorough inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,063 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 2015 MOT gap is noted.
Things to check
- 2015 MOT gap indicates a period of unknown history or SORN.
- Recurring exhaust advisories (2010, 2011, 2013) suggest ongoing emissions issues.
- Recurring tyre advisories (2011, 2013) and failures (2011, 2013) point to consistent wear.
- The vehicle is 22 years old, which will incur higher maintenance costs and wear.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage (7,063 mi/yr) suggests light use and less engine/drivetrain stress.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating current roadworthiness.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, which is a positive for immediate use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage patterns.
