2002 Rover 25 1.4L Petrol · LD02 FBC

The vehicle presents a remarkably stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent clean record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 16 June 2025 at 38,218 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This mirrors the clean results back to 2021, indicating that the car remains maintained to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures or safety concerns. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,592 miles per year. Between June 2021 and June 2025, the car covered only 581 miles, moving from 37,637 to 38,218 miles. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking components, the long intervals between use often increase the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, perished seals, and stagnant brake fluid chemistry. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to long-term standing and low mileage. A buyer should specifically check the structural integrity of the sills, wheel arches, and floor pans for corrosion, which is common on this era of Rover regardless of mileage. Examine the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or sidewalling, and verify the brakes for flat spots or seized calipers, as these frequently arise when a vehicle is driven infrequently.
