This 2004 Rover has 12 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 55,408 miles. While many issues were resolved, the repeated nature of these problems suggests ongoing maintenance needs.
The vehicle exhibits high annual usage, averaging 15,199 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, which is a clear red flag for accelerated wear and tear.
Things to check
- Recurring brake failures and advisories across multiple tests (Sep 2010, Sep 2011) indicate a systemic weakness.
- High annual mileage (15,199 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) signals accelerated wear and tear.
- Multiple light failures and advisories (Sep 2008, Sep 2009, Sep 2011) suggest a persistent electrical or mechanical issue.
- The vehicle is currently Untaxed and has a Not valid MOT status, requiring immediate attention to roadworthiness.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and potentially fewer long periods of inactivity.
- Most MOT failures were immediately rectified, indicating responsive owner maintenance.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage readings.
