ROVER 2161994 · 1.6L PETROL

The most recent MOT entry for this 1994 Rover 216 is a failure dated 2007-07-23, recorded at 93,690 miles. The defects cited were front tyre tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm and both rear tyres showing inner-edge wear. A prior failure on 2007-06-11 noted excessive carbon monoxide emissions, while an earlier MOT in 2006-06-07 showed no defects. The vehicle’s MOT history includes two failures within a month of each other in 2007, with no subsequent records after that date. The recurring issues highlight potential problems with tyre condition and emissions control. The front tyre tread failure suggests neglect or uneven wear, while the rear tyre inner-edge wear could indicate alignment or suspension misalignment. The CO emissions failure points to a possible fault in the engine’s combustion process, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, or fuel system. These defects are not inherently linked to mileage but may reflect maintenance practices or component degradation over time. The trend in MOT outcomes is unclear due to limited data. While the 2006 MOT was passed, the 2007 failures suggest a possible worsening of issues, though no follow-up tests confirm this.
