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

This 2001 Rover has 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 49,602 miles. The vehicle is currently untaxed and has no valid MOT, making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.

The vehicle shows a suspiciously low mileage of 197 miles/year before June 2013, followed by normal usage, but this significant early-life anomaly is a major red flag.

Things to check

  • No MOT history recorded from 2005 to 2018 (13 years), a critical data gap.
  • Major failure for Offside Rear Suspension component mounting excessively corroded (Feb 2008).
  • Major failure for Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements (Feb 2007).
  • Major failure for Offside Rear Service brake excessively binding (Feb 2008).

Working in its favour

  • No specific recurring failures in the most recent MOT (Jan 2019).
  • The single major failure in 2007 for the passenger door was immediately rectified.
  • The 2005-12-02 MOT pass shows a clean record for that year.
  • The vehicle has a consistent annual mileage of ~6,500 miles since 2013.
