What to Check Before Buying.
Rover ceased production in 2005, but thousands of used models remain on UK roads, from the compact 25 to the executive 75. These British-built cars were affordable when new and remain popular as budget buys today, but age and previous maintenance standards vary dramatically. Rust, head gasket failures, and electrical gremlins are common themes across the range, making thorough pre-purchase checks essential. What looks like a bargain can quickly become a money pit if you don't know what to look for.
