This 2002 Rover has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 43,787 miles. This, combined with a 24-year age and a recurring brake advisory, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.
The mileage decreased from 43,787 miles in Sep 2006 to 26,739 miles in Sep 2007, a clear indication of odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Sep 2006 (43,787 mi) and Sep 2007 (26,739 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
- Mileage decreased 17,048 miles between Sep 2006 (43,787 mi) and Sep 2007 (26,739 mi).
- Unusually high mileage jump before Sep 2008 (25,830 mi/yr equivalent).
- Recurring brake pad advisories (Sep 2006, Sep 2008) indicate ongoing wear.
Working in its favour
- No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded.
- Single minor failure (wiper) in Sep 2007 was immediately rectified.
- Consistent low annual mileage (7,165 mi/yr) suggests light use.
- No major structural corrosion or recurring suspension issues.
