Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2006 model year cars.
- Head Gasket Failure (HGF)Serious
The Rover K-Series engine is prone to head gasket failure due to its small coolant capacity and "sandwich" construction.
- Cooling System DegradationSerious
The K-Series has a very small coolant capacity, making it intolerant of any cooling system weakness. Coolant pipes perish during winter storage, header tank caps fail and fan switches can stick, all leading to rapid overheating.
- Chassis CorrosionSerious
The thin-wall tubular steel chassis can rust quickly if the powder coating is compromised. Corrosion typically starts at welds and joints where moisture and road salt become trapped, and can threaten structural integrity.
