Rover 620 Si Auto (1997)
1997 Rover 620 Si Auto
CarHunch is tracking 168 1997 Rover 620 Si Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1997 Rover 620 SI Auto has a 0% first-time pass rate—far below the UK average of 80%—which is a stark red flag, though the absence of dangerous defects (0%) and the low failure count (0.0 per vehicle) suggest the issues are relatively minor. With no mileage data available and a median CarHunch score of just 50, these 168 vehicles appear to be in genuinely poor condition overall, likely explaining why none passed their MOT on the first attempt.
At nearly 30 years old, this model is reaching the end of its practical life, and the combined data points to chronic wear rather than specific mechanical failure. If you're considering one, expect to budget for immediate remedial work—get a pre-purchase inspection done by a specialist rather than relying on MOT history alone.
We have 168 1997 Rover 620 Si Auto 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 1997 Rover 620 Si Auto
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.
