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

This 2003 Rover has 20 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 14,595 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the recurring advisories on critical systems like brakes and suspension, combined with a 2020 service gap, indicate substantial upcoming repair costs.

The vehicle shows a critical 23-year gap in recorded mileage, with only 14,595 miles recorded in May 2006, and suspiciously low annual usage (2,857 mi/yr) that does not align with typical UK driving.

Things to check

  • Mileage recorded in May 2006 is 14,595 miles, a 23-year gap from registration.
  • Mileage trajectory shows very low annual usage (2,857 mi/yr), raising concerns about vehicle health.
  • Jan 2021 MOT advisory for worn brake disc and coil spring indicates significant wear.
  • Oct 2019 MOT advisory for worn tyres and emissions suggests ongoing maintenance needs.

Working in its favour

  • Vehicle has a current, albeit expired, MOT certificate from 2022-01-18.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects are recorded in the MOT history.
  • The single failure in Nov 2018 was immediately rectified and passed on the same day.
  • Consistent, albeit low, mileage readings suggest a single owner or limited use.
