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 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 50,970 miles. The 2010 MOT failure and subsequent pass, combined with the 'accident damage' advisory, raises concerns about past repairs and structural integrity.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,453 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though the 2010 failure date is concerning.

Things to check

  • 2010-09-23: Failed MOT with no defect details provided, a serious concern for a 24-year-old vehicle.
  • 2008-09-24 & 2009-09-22: 'Accident damage to rear of vehicle' advisory noted twice, indicating potential structural or impact history.
  • Not ULEZ-compliant: A 24-year-old petrol vehicle will incur daily charges in London, significantly impacting future use.
  • MOT expired 2011-09-23: The vehicle has been off-road for over 13 years, suggesting long-term storage or inactivity.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • Consistent mileage: Average 9,453 miles/year is normal and shows no signs of tampering.
  • No recurring failures: The single 2010 failure was immediately rectified, showing a responsive owner.
  • Long MOT history: Despite the 2010 failure, the vehicle has maintained a valid MOT for most of its life.
