Rover 214 Si (1991)
1991 Rover 214 Si
CarHunch is tracking 14,155 1991 Rover 214 Si vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1991 Rover 214 SI has a 0% first-time pass rate, which is dramatically below the UK average of 80% — these cars simply aren't passing their MOTs. With zero dangerous defects recorded and zero average failures across 14,155 vehicles tested, the picture becomes clear: these cars are so old that almost none are still being presented for MOT testing, meaning the "pass rate" is essentially meaningless because the surviving examples are vanishingly rare.
At an average mileage of 83,975, any 1991 Rover 214 SI you encounter today is either a cherished classic or a statistical ghost. If you're considering one, treat it as a 30+ year old car that will need a full pre-purchase inspection by a specialist — forget the MOT data and focus on finding a well-maintained example with service history, because the population tested here is too small to offer real guidance.
We have 14,155 1991 Rover 214 Si 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 1991 Rover 214 Si
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.
