1999 Rover 800 2.5L Petrol · V851 MLG

The most recent MOT in July 2022 passed with noted issues concerning the central rear outer vehicle structure corrosion and slight play in both front suspension arm ball joints. A recurring mechanical pattern is the presence of suspension arm ball joint play noted in both the nearside and offside front suspension components across multiple inspections. The condition trend appears relatively stable, as the vehicle passed the most recent MOT despite these specific suspension issues being recorded. The mileage of 75,765 miles for a 1999 model suggests a relatively low annual mileage of approximately 2,806 miles per year, which could indicate lighter use or periods where the vehicle has been stationary. A buyer should immediately inspect the suspension components, paying close attention to the front lower suspension arm ball joints for any looseness or play. Secondly, thoroughly examine the areas noted as corroded, specifically the central rear outer vehicle structure and the areas around the suspension component mountings, to assess the extent of the corrosion. Finally, check the tyres, as there was a recorded issue with an offside front nail and a tear on a nearside rear tyre in a previous inspection.
