This 2005 Rover has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 15,674 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the low mileage and recurring suspension issues warrant careful inspection.
The vehicle shows 15,674 miles at its first MOT in March 2008, then a significant jump to 38,700 miles by February 2011, followed by a return to lower annual usage, indicating a possible odometer reset or interference.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below average for its age (15,674 mi over 21 years).
- Major MOT failure in Feb 2011 for excessive nearside front suspension ball joint movement.
- Major MOT failure in Feb 2011 for excessive exhaust emissions (CO, HC, Lambda).
Working in its favour
- Single major MOT failure in 2011 was immediately rectified and passed.
- Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage since its first MOT in 2008.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
