Rover 114 Gta (1996)
1996 Rover 114 Gta
CarHunch is tracking 395 1996 Rover 114 Gta vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1996 Rover 114 GTA has a 0% first-time pass rate among the 395 vehicles analysed—a stark contrast to the 80% UK average—meaning every single example tested failed its MOT on first attempt. The petrol engines show the same pattern, with no vehicles passing first time, and there are no recorded dangerous defects across the cohort.
The absence of mileage data and zero recorded failures or advisories suggests these vehicles may not be returning for retests, making it impossible to assess typical repair costs or common fault patterns. If you're considering one of these cars, verify its full MOT history independently and have a pre-purchase inspection by a trusted mechanic, as age and the consistent first-time failure pattern indicate serious underlying issues.
We have 395 1996 Rover 114 Gta vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1996 Rover 114 Gta
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
