Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 1999 model year cars.
- Chassis Outrigger CorrosionSerious
The outriggers are the most vulnerable part of the chassis. Road salt and moisture get trapped between the body and frame, causing terminal rot.
- Camshaft Wear (Rover V8)Moderate
The Rover V8 is a "lazy" engine but if oil changes are neglected, the camshaft and followers wear down, saping power.
- Leaking Power Steering RackModerate
The steering racks are prone to leaking from the seals, often requiring a rebuild.
