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 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 20,602 miles.

The vehicle shows only 20,602 miles in 24 years, a significant anomaly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, suggesting potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 20,602 miles over 24 years (Jan 2002).
  • Mileage anomaly: 45,127 miles at Jan 2012 is implausibly low for a 2002 car.
  • Major failure: Exhaust emissions failed Jan 2007, though retested and passed.
  • Major failure: Nearside Front Headlamp failed Jan 2007, though retested and passed.

Working in its favour

  • Single major failure in 2007 was immediately rectified and passed.
  • No recurring major failures or advisories on the same system.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases after the initial low period.
  • No dangerous defects or structural corrosion noted in MOT history.
