This 2002 Rover has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 12,576 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 24-year-old vehicle, raises significant reliability and wear concerns.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,657 miles per year, with a suspicious 12,941-mile jump between Oct 2011 and Oct 2012.
Things to check
- Oct 2015: Recent MOT pass after multiple failures, but exhaust advisory remains unresolved.
- Oct 2015: Brake hose advisory noted, a critical safety component for older vehicles.
- Oct 2015: Recurring headlamp failures (Oct 2012, Oct 2015) and brake pad wear (Oct 2012, Oct 2013) indicate systemic neglect.
- Oct 2015: SORN status and no valid MOT since 2016-10-20, requiring immediate re-registration and MOT.
Working in its favour
- Oct 2015: Most recent MOT pass is a positive, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
- Nov 2005: First MOT pass was clean with no advisories, showing initial good condition.
- Oct 2015: All previous failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same day, demonstrating responsive ownership.
- Oct 2015: No mileage discrepancies or fraud detected, indicating honest odometer readings.
