ROVER STREETWISE2003 · 2.0L DIESEL

The most recent MOT history shows a pass in September 2013, with noted corrosion on brake pipes and suspension mounting areas, and an oil leak. The previous failure in September 2013 indicated issues with wiper function and excessive fluctuation in the front brakes, alongside brake pipe corrosion and coil spring corrosion. The trend in the recorded history shows a pattern of mechanical wear and corrosion being noted across multiple inspections over a period of several years. The mileage of 103,492 miles for a vehicle of this age suggests an average annual mileage of approximately 4,500 miles, which is relatively low for its age. This could indicate lighter overall use or extended periods where the vehicle was not driven frequently. The main risk pattern identified is recurring corrosion on brake pipes and suspension mounting areas, and previous issues with brake performance and oil leaks. The condition trend appears stable, as the issues noted in the 2013 history were not immediately resolved, suggesting these mechanical concerns persist. A buyer should first thoroughly inspect the brake system, checking for any signs of wear or damage to the discs and pads, and look for any active fluid leaks. Secondly, the suspension components, particularly around the rear, should be examined for any signs of the noted corrosion or wear on the mounting areas. Finally, check the windscreen wiper operation for smooth and effective clearing.
