Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1997 Rover 825 Sterling, with a 5-speed manual transmission, was sold for £2,900, within its estimated range. It includes paperwork like the V5, MOT certificate, invoices, owner's manual, and a partially stamped service book.
Condition
6
The car's MOT expired in 2018, suggesting it may have been off the road or not well-maintained since then. The presence of 7 stamps and 2 handwritten entries in the service book indicate some level of maintenance, but the photos would need to be reviewed to assess the mileage and overall condition accurately. The note about a door rubber being missing (but now fitted) suggests some minor cosmetic issues were present. The car needs some reconditioning.
