Current V5 present. Paperwork includes Owner's Handbooks, a Service booklet containing 10 stamps, MOT certificates, previous V5s, and invoices.

The vendor has provided the following:

  • With a mileage of only 37,000, this Rover 825 Sterling was used by the first owner for three years, and it is my understanding that it was then sold to a funeral director
  • It therefore did very few miles and was later sorned, and then bought from an auction house
  • Sadly, it was not cared for, and I purchased it in February 2025
  • In that time, it has had:
  • New windscreen wipers
  • New floor mats
  • New battery
  • Stainless steel exhaust
  • Two new remote key fobs
  • Major service, including new brake pads and calipers
  • Another minor service, brake fluid change, refurbished alloys, screen washer pump repair, cruise control repair
  • Has an MOT until 02/02/27 with no advisories, and there is no dash lift
  • Drives beautifully on good tyres and hasn't had the mileage to carbon up the new exhaust
  • The six-stack CD player in the boot works fully, but only plays originals and not copies. I cannot vouch for the cassette player. Not being in possession of one to play
  • Always run on E5 petrol
  • New cambelt kit
