AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2003 Rover has 16 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 17,444 miles. The vehicle's very low mileage for its age, combined with a 3-year MOT gap, demands thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows only 34,995 miles over 23 years, significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, with a 3-year MOT gap (2016-2019) and no recorded mileage.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 34,995 mi over 23 years (Jan 2003) — bottom 10% of similar ROVERs.
- Critical 3-year MOT gap (2016-2019) — no recorded mileage during this period, highly suspicious.
- Very low annual usage (2,085 mi/yr) suggests potential long periods of inactivity or unreported mileage.
- SORN status and expired MOT (2020-10-09) indicate vehicle has been off-road for extended periods.
Working in its favour
- No MOT failures recorded across all 2 tests — clean history of passing tests.
- No dangerous defects or major failures ever recorded on the MOT tests.
- Consistent pass history with no recurring advisories or failures.
- First registration in 2003 means a classic, simple design for maintenance.
