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 26 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 26,040 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of repeated failures and advisories on critical safety systems warrants a thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,937 miles per year, with a significant drop from 74,996 miles in July 2018 to 26,040 miles by August 2006.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., Jul 2019, Jul 2020, Jul 2021).
  • Brake system advisories and failures (e.g., Jul 2018, Jul 2019, Jul 2023).
  • Tyre condition advisories and failures (e.g., Jul 2018, Jul 2021).
  • Lights and headlamps advisories and failures (e.g., Jul 2019, Jul 2020).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-07-26, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded since 2025.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
