ROVER 8001997 · 2.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT in November 2024 passed, but the history shows a concerning pattern of issues. The main risk pattern is corrosion, specifically noted in the underbody, which appeared in both the latest and the previous MOT. There was also a significant structural corrosion warning in the MOT from September 2022, which was not fully resolved in the subsequent MOT. The condition trend appears to be stable in terms of underlying structural issues, as corrosion remains a persistent concern across the recorded history. The mileage of 159,823 miles for a vehicle of this age suggests a moderate level of use, which could indicate consistent wear on components such as the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain. A buyer must inspect the underbody thoroughly for any signs of corrosion. They should also carefully check the towbar mounting area and the offside rear suspension component mounting area for any remaining signs of corrosion or damage. Finally, the buyer needs to check the parking brake lever operation to ensure it moves correctly.
