AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2001 Rover has 12 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 50,761 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of recurring failures on safety-critical systems like lights and tyres is a significant red flag.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,368 miles/year, with no anomalies or suspicious drops or spikes, showing normal usage.
Things to check
- Five MOT failures across 12 tests (2005-2012) indicates persistent mechanical issues.
- Recurring failures in lights (9 times) and tyres (7 times) suggest systemic neglect.
- A 2009 service gap (no MOT recorded) raises concerns about vehicle maintenance history.
- Brake pad failures escalated from PRS (Sep 2005) to FAIL (Dec 2008).
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,368 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
