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 93% pass rate and 23,805 miles. The vehicle is currently not MOT valid and has been on SORN since 2019.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant decrease from 44,618 miles (Sep 2019) to 44,377 miles (Oct 2019), indicating a 241-mile reversal that is highly suspicious for odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below average: 44,377 miles over 24 years (Jan 2002) — bottom 10% of similar ROVERs.
  • Critical mileage anomaly: 241-mile decrease between Sep 2019 (44,618 mi) and Oct 2019 (44,377 mi) — high fraud risk.
  • Not currently MOT valid: Last valid MOT expired 2020-10-01; vehicle has been on SORN since 2019.
  • Very low annual usage: Average of 2,498 miles/year suggests prolonged inactivity or potential odometer issues.

Working in its favour

  • Solid MOT pass record: 14 of 15 MOT tests passed, indicating generally good maintenance history.
  • No dangerous defects: No DANG
