AI verdict AVOID 34/100

AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2004 Rover has 28 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 8,083 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 22-year-old vehicle, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,552 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 1,913 miles in 2024).

Things to check

  • Deeply troubled MOT history with 8 failures and 8 passes across 16 tests.
  • Recurring major failures in critical safety systems: brakes, suspension, and exhaust.
  • Persistent and escalating tyre issues, including a DANGEROUS defect in May 2019.
  • Major engine and emissions failures in 2007 and 2010, respectively.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2027-05-24, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The car has been consistently tested annually since its first MOT in 2007.
