2006 Rover Cityrover 1.4L Petrol · FN06 AYH

The Rover CityRover presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its three most recent MOT tests. The August 2023 examination at 31,940 miles returned a clean pass, matching the fault-free results from August 2022 at 31,176 miles and August 2021 at 30,339 miles. The maintenance record shows no worsening or recurring mechanical issues requiring advisory attention. The odometer reflects exceptionally low use for a 2006 vehicle, accumulating only 764 miles between the 2021 and 2022 tests and 764 miles again to the 2023 test. At roughly 1,597 miles per year against twenty years of age, the car has covered less than a third of typical annual mileage. The DVSA history is sparse with just three entries shown and no failures, advisories, or gaps suggesting neglected statutory testing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points where prolonged standing invites rubber perishing and hidden corrosion. Brake discs and calipers may show surface pitting from disuse rather than wear, and the exhaust emissions system deserves a cold-start check despite passing clean. Given the clean record and minimal mileage, previous ownership appears to have stored the vehicle rather than exercised it daily. Verify the 2023 pass remains current against today's 2026 date, as the test will have lapsed and a fresh examination is legally required before road use.
