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

This 2002 Rover has 15 MOT tests on record with a 53% pass rate and 22,471 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing only 126 miles in the first 10 years.

The vehicle recorded only 126 miles in the first 10 years (Jan 2002 to Oct 2012), a significant anomaly from the expected 8,000 miles/year.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2013-10-14; no valid MOT since, indicating 24 years of unverified roadworthiness.
  • Mileage shows only 126 miles in the first 10 years (Jan 2002 to Oct 2012), a major red flag for fraud.
  • 7 major failures across critical safety systems (lights, tyres, brakes, emissions) with 9 related advisories.
  • Recurring issues: headlamp (4 tests), exhaust (3 tests), tyre (3 tests), windscreen (3 tests), anti-roll bar link (2 tests).

Working in its favour

  • No recurring failures on the same system in the last 3 years, indicating recent maintenance.
  • The vehicle has a consistent annual mileage of 7,793 miles since Oct 2012, matching UK average.
  • All 7 major failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or next day, showing responsive ownership.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud after Oct 2012, with consistent annual readings.
