Buying Tips for the 2000 Rover 75
- ✓Prioritize the 2.0 CDTi (BMW diesel engine) for long-distance reliability and longevity.
- ✓Check for a "Fuel Orange Clip" (FOC) in the service history for later petrol models to prevent in-tank fuel pump separation.
- ✓Feel the carpets in the front footwells for dampness, which indicates blocked plenum drains that can destroy the ECU.
- ✓Inspect the rear suspension subframe for structural rust, a common and expensive MOT failure point.
- ✓Listen for a rattle from the intake manifold on V6 (KV6) models, indicating broken VIS motors.
