1994 ROVER 8272.7L PETROL

The vehicle was last recorded as roadworthy in the October 2017 MOT, where it passed despite several advisories; the most recent test predates the current date by nine years, so the present condition cannot be confirmed and the trend must be regarded as uncertain. Across a 32‑year lifespan the odometer reads 82,932 mi, averaging roughly 2,600 mi per annum – well below typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Mileage rose from 80,959 mi in July 2014 to 82,932 mi in October 2017, a modest increase of about 2,000 mi over three years, indicating no periods of rapid accumulation and suggesting either light daily use or extended storage intervals. The MOT record flags persistent issues that a buyer should verify on site. The near‑side front power‑steering ram shows slight seal seepage and an accompanying front oil leak, warranting a thorough inspection of the steering circuit for fluid loss. Both front constant‑velocity joint gaiters were noted as damaged in 2016 and 2017, so the CV joints should be checked for dirt ingress and wear. The anti‑roll bar pin on the off‑side front exhibits slight play, indicating possible bush wear that could affect handling. Slight corrosion on the inner and outer sills of both sides was recorded; visual assessment of the body’s lower edges for rust progression is advisable. The rear fog lamp failed in 2014 and 2016, and a major exhaust leak was flagged in 2016; confirming lamp operation and inspecting the exhaust system for cracks or corrosion will address these safety‑critical items.
