UK

The 1991 Rover Montego LX Auto does not appear in the DVLA light-vehicle MOT database, so no pass rates or defect data are available for this cohort of 1,495 vehicles. This absence is likely because most Monteges from this era have been scrapped or permanently removed from the road—the model was discontinued in 1998 and is now over 30 years old, placing it well outside the typical MOT testing population. If you're considering one as a classic or hobby purchase, you'll need to rely on specialist pre-purchase inspection rather than MOT history; look for evidence of welding (rust was a notorious Montego weakness), check the automatic gearbox for smooth shifts, and verify service history carefully since parts and expertise are scarce. Any surviving example this age demands thorough mechanical evaluation before purchase, not spreadsheet analysis.

MOT statistics not available

We have 1,495 1991 Rover Montego LX Auto vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
