Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution; this Rover 827 is a classic that requires significant mechanical attention. You should only consider this purchase if you are a dedicated enthusiast prepared for ongoing maintenance of its aging brake and suspension systems.
When inspecting this vehicle, focus heavily on the underside. The recurring MOT advisories regarding corroded brake pipes are a major red flag that indicates the need for a full brake system overhaul. Given the age of the vehicle, these pipes are likely original and could fail under pressure, so budget for a complete replacement rather than a patch-up job.
Furthermore, check the service history for evidence of timing belt changes and cooling system maintenance. The 2.7-litre V6 engine is a sophisticated unit, but it is notoriously sensitive to overheating. Ensure the engine runs smoothly from a cold start and look for signs of 'mayonnaise' in the oil filler cap, which could indicate head gasket issues common in older Rover engines.
