The ROVER 25 STREETWISE (2003-05) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TD 101 S is a small, three-door diesel hatchback with a tougher, raised-up look than an ordinary Rover 25. It sits between a conventional supermini and a compact crossover, offering a distinctive alternative to practical small cars such as the Ford Fusion. The 2.0-litre diesel’s 101 horsepower makes it suited to commuting and longer journeys, while its size helps around town. Its rugged trim and higher stance give it more presence than a standard hatchback, though three doors make access less convenient for rear passengers. It best suits singles, couples or households. mycarcheck.com has recorded 12 checks across three distinct VINs, a relatively modest sample. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £600, average mileage of 144,000 miles, annual use of 11,000 miles and nearly three previous keepers. The figures suggest this older, unusual Rover is a budget buy, so inspect condition carefully.
