Common Problems: ROVER 45
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- K-Series Head Gasket Failure(Serious)
Applies to 1.4, 1.6, and 1.8 models. Standard K-Series symptoms and fixes apply.
- Water Ingress (Bulkhead Seam Failure)(Moderate)
The seam sealer on the bulkhead cracks with age, allowing water into the front passenger footwell. Leaks under the carpet are usually from seam failure, while leaks on top enter through the heater blower inlet.
- VIS Motor Failure (V6)(Moderate)
The 2.0 V6 uses Variable Intake System motors that fail, leading to reduced performance and a rattling intake manifold.
