ROVER 420 Common Problems & Reliability
Based on 74 MOT tests from 5 vehicles analysed by VehicleScore®. The figures below describe that VehicleScore® sample. Recurring issues seen in VehicleScore® MOT data are not a claim that every ROVER 420 has the same fault.
ROVER 420's have a slightly over average reliability rating of 583/999. The score was calculated from the average of every ROVER 420 that has had a registered MOT.
We calculated all of the below figures by getting the score from each vehicle make/model/year/fuel, which are each calculated a score. We then generate the average score, taking into account factors such as mileage and emissions.

Based on 74 MOT tests from 5 vehicles analysed by VehicleScore®. That sample is too small to describe recurring problems, so this page does not list model-specific faults.
ROVER 420 MOT reliability by year
A model year is only commented on when VehicleScore® has at least 5 vehicles from that year.
Not enough VehicleScore® data for year-by-year conclusions.
Buying a ROVER 420?
Common problems tell you what can affect ROVER 420s generally. VehicleScore® can check the history of the actual car you're considering.
Where does this data come from?
VehicleScore® analyses MOT histories from vehicles in its own dataset. Sample sizes vary by model, and a small sample is labelled as such. MOT data records roadworthiness and inspection defects. It does not capture every mechanical or electronic problem a car can have, and a comment on one test is not proof that the model has an inherent fault.
