Common Problems: ROVER STREETWISE

- K-Series Head Gasket Failure(Serious)
As with the Rover 25, the K-Series engines in the Streetwise are prone to head gasket failure due to plastic dowels and low coolant capacity.
- SCU / BCU Relay Failure (Pektron)(Moderate)
As a late MG Rover model, the Streetwise uses the Pektron SCU which is notorious for relay failure affecting central locking, wipers, and alarm.
- Rusting Sills and Rear Arches(Moderate)
The sills and rear wheel arches are prone to corrosion, just as on the Rover 25. Structural rust is a common MOT failure point.
