2003 Rover 75: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 60% pass first time (all 2003 cars: 57%) Stands out: suspension arm 3.3×, rust around suspension or steering mountings 2×, link ball joint covers 2.8× 2,085 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 56% pass first time (all 2003 cars: 57%) Stands out: suspension arm 4.4×, rust around suspension or steering mountings 2.5×, individual direction indicators 2.3× 3,111 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
