ROVER 8001992 · 2.7L PETROL

The most recent MOT test on November 15, 2024, resulted in a failure due to significant corrosion affecting structural mounting points on the offside rear suspension and front subframe, and binding on the service brakes on the offside rear and nearside front. The recurring mechanical pattern points towards significant structural corrosion and brake system issues. The failure noted severe corrosion reducing the structural strength of key mounting areas, indicating potential long-term structural integrity concerns. Brake binding across multiple axles suggests wear or issues within the braking system components. Given the vehicle's age of approximately 34 years and the mileage of 144,249 miles, the annual mileage is around 4,243 miles. This mileage is relatively low for the age, which could suggest lighter overall use or extended periods when the vehicle was stationary. However, the specific failure points related to corrosion and brake performance are serious regardless of the overall mileage trend. The condition trend appears to be worsening, as the most recent failure highlights significant structural corrosion that was not present in earlier inspections. A buyer must immediately inspect the areas cited in the failure report first. Specifically, check the offside rear suspension mounting areas and the front subframe mounting areas for signs of further corrosion.
