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 73% pass rate and 13,152 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the vehicle's age and past neglect warrant a thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage (13,152 miles in 24 years) until a massive 34,564-mile jump in Nov 2013, followed by a further 19,362-mile jump in 2015, indicating a significant change in usage.

Things to check

  • Unusually low mileage (13,152 mi in 24 years) suggests long periods of inactivity.
  • Significant mileage anomaly: 34,564-mile jump in Nov 2013, then 19,362-mile jump in 2015.
  • Recurring minor defects: Tyres (10 advisories), lights (5 advisories), brakes (4 advisories).
  • Four test failures with no defect details, indicating past neglect or poor record-keeping.

Working in its favour

  • Vehicle has a current, valid MOT certificate, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects are recorded in the MOT history.
  • The car has been consistently tested annually since its first MOT in 2005.
  • The 2002 Rover is a classic, often well-maintained by enthusiasts.
