2002 Rover 25 1.4L Petrol · CU02 FLE

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is classified as poor and the maintenance trend is improving , as evidenced by the 2025-06-24 test passing at 21,635 miles. The most recent inspection indicates that while the rear fuel pipe and brake pipe show signs of corrosion and grease accumulation, the front registration plate and tyres have been inspected and found to be in acceptable condition, suggesting the issue has resolved or been corrected. The failure on 2025-06-20 at 21,635 miles is the only significant defect recorded, which implies that the previous owner had a history of maintenance gaps, likely due to the vehicle's low mileage and age. The mileage profile suggests stable or improving conditions despite the recent failure. The vehicle has a very low mileage of 21,635 miles, which is consistent with its 2002 age and represents a significant gap between the two most recent MOTs (2024-06-27 and 2025-06-24). This lack of rapid accumulation suggests that the vehicle has not experienced heavy daily driving or frequent breakdowns that would cause the mileage to rise quickly. The data is sparse and clean in its absence of other wear indicators, pointing to a situation where the vehicle has been maintained for a long period, even if the most recent test was affected by a minor leak or corrosion. Given the history, a buyer should inspect the suspension and braking components in person, as the 2025-06-20 failure indicates a binding condition on the nearside front service brake. While the rear fuel pipe and brake pipe show corroded segments, the lack of other defects suggests the suspension bushings and coil springs may still be in good condition. A thorough visual inspection is required to check for rust or corrosion in the exhaust system, which was noted as a minor leak on the 2024-06-27 test, and to verify that the brake discs and calipers are not exhibiting the binding condition flagged on the 2025-06-20 record.
