These were terrible, so unreliable, yadda yadda yadda.....

If they were so bad, how is this one, and many others still hanging on in there with huge mileages after 12 years ?

Looks really rather nice, think they may eventually be a little bit collectible.

Id say they will be quite collectable eventually.

Not only were they a good car by all accounts (K series 4 cylinder hgs aside - and even that looks insignificant when you look at modern diesel issues imo) but they were also very late in Rovers life as a manufacturer - AND part of the final Rover and MG line up when they went burst in 2005.

Quite so. I've had a run of three all of which have been very good. The latest one I got for free (was a swap + cash my way for my old one) which is a diesel with night on 300k on the clock. I've added a thousand miles on that in the past few weeks with no problems.

They do have their issues - but so does any car of a similar vintage, and to be quite honest, mine (cumulatively) are costing a lot less in maintenance than my parent's MY08 Citroen Picasso. Can't complain at all.
