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 13 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 19,160 miles. While it has a valid MOT now, the recurring issues and low mileage for its age present significant risks.
The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 4,582 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage between 2011 and 2014.
Things to check
- Major failure for 'Offside Rear Seat belt locking mechanism does not secure or release' on 2016-02-01.
- Major failure for 'Parking brake lever has excessive side play in the pivot' on 2016-02-01.
- Major failure for 'Nearside Front constant velocity joint gaiter deteriorated' on 2016-02-01.
- Recurring exhaust advisories noted in 2016 and 2017, indicating a persistent issue.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a current, valid MOT certificate, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
- No recurring major failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
- The 2016-02-01 retest PASS after major failures shows immediate rectification.
- Consistent, low annual mileage suggests a well-preserved interior for its age.
