This 2005 Rover has 8 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 41,168 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of issues and high usage warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows a suspicious mileage trajectory: 41,168 miles by Oct 2008, then 50,121 miles by Dec 2010, followed by a massive spike to 92,836 miles by Apr 2012, indicating a potential odometer fraud or a significant change in usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring headlamp aim failures (Oct 2008, Apr 2011) and tyre issues (Apr 2011) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Major brake imbalance failure (Oct 2008) and exhaust emissions failure (Oct 2008) highlight past safety concerns.
  • Mileage trajectory shows a significant spike from 41,168 miles (Oct 2008) to 92,836 miles (Apr 2012), suggesting potential odometer fraud.
  • The vehicle has been on SORN since 2014, implying it has been off-road for an extended period.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, indicating it is currently roadworthy and compliant with basic safety standards.
  • No recent major failures or advisories are present in the MOT history, suggesting the owner has been responsive to maintenance.
  • The car has consistently passed retests after failures, demonstrating that issues were addressed and rectified
