Know what you mean. For me I respect it's condition, It's great to see, but it's lacking dead cows carefully converted into seat covers, gracefully complimented by a sterling badge and associated snobbery.

Has that gear lever really only done 69700 miles though?
Looks seriously worn to me, steering wheel isn't much better either!

Re: Rover 820Si Low Mileage Garaged Ebay
Maybe it was all local town driving...
1st gear , 2nd gear , back to 1st gear, 2nd gear and if you`re lucky third gear...
and we ain't even got to the end of the road he lived in yet
sometimes usage and miles on the clock aren't the same.

Re: Rover 820Si Low Mileage Garaged Ebay
I agree entirely I had a 2007 Jaguar X-type, when I sold it, it had done 200,000 miles and yet interior wear appeared minimal... I do 35-40k a year commuter miles so it spent 90% of the time in one gear with cruise on. Town vs. Motorway is no doubt a significant difference in age presentation.deano wrote:Maybe it was all local town driving...

I got it in 2008, similar mileage across the same time period as that blue one. For the record, the emissions failures, first one (reading from the top) was when the HT leads went the first time and filled the cat with unburnt fuel, second i forgot to refit the cat before the test!

Shows how MOT testers can vary....
Yours passed in 2006 no problem and yet a year and 5K miles later it has 6 failure points and another 5 advisories.
Can a car deteriorate so fast....

Since then, apart from the odd silly, it's gone straight through with no problem on the brakes. There was one year (think it was when i forgot to refit the cat) when the front brakes didn't balance first time round, refitted the cat and went back - totally forgot to even look at the front brakes - and they passed spot on.
I know i haven't used it as much over the past couple of years, partly due to getting the Coupé up to scratch and partly because of having the Jeep then the Volvo but mostly because i want to keep the mileage down on it. It's the lowest mileage out of the three so i'd like to keep it as low as possible. That said it's been laid up with a dead alternator which i'm now sorting and upgrading.

Re: Rover 820Si Low Mileage Garaged Ebay
I know what you mean but i also know my brakes have always come up fine as i've been able to see the display very easily. Also my tester is fussy over the important stuff but a bit more lenient on the silly stuff like a bulb blowing during the test or similar.deano wrote:yea , but I still think some testers are over fussy and some not .

Some testers get extra fussy simply because they don't like the car or what you're wearing or something which shouldn't happen.
