2000 Rover 45 1.4 iE
Early 45's have more or less dropped off the radar now for me, especially these pre-51 registered models. This one is a lowly iE and still looked remarkably clean, although the long term owner (since July 2005) probably has a lot to do with that so great stuff to see.
However, I got a shock when I checked the MOT history. Being such a clean, tidy car in long term ownership generally favoured by the older generation, I expected it to have covered a tiny mileage just bumbling to and from the shops. But no, even though it's been clearly lovingly cherished, at last MOT in December (it's due a retest on the 12th, so I'd be intrigued as to what it's actually covered now!) it had 163k showing on the odometer. It seems to cover at least 15,000 miles a year even now, so it's probably nearly at the 180k mark. I'll be keeping an eye out for that 2016 test to appear.
