2006 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
67% pass first time (all 2006 cars: 56%)
Nothing stands out above the usual rate
165 MOTsSee the petrol guide ›
Diesel
57% pass first time (all 2006 cars: 56%)
Stands out: suspension arm 3.8×, ball joint 2×
406 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›
Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
