The ROVER 25 (1999-04) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.8 IL STEPTRONIC AUTO is a compact three-door hatchback from Rover, aimed at buyers wanting a practical, easy-to-park small car rather than a large family vehicle. Its automatic gearbox and lively 1.8-litre engine give it a more relaxed, distinctive feel than many basic small hatchbacks of its era. With three doors, it suits singles, couples and commuters, or a first-time buyer who values straightforward dimensions and automatic driving. It can handle everyday errands and town journeys, while its compact shape is easier to park than larger cars. The 1.8-litre petrol setup offers more pace than economy-focused rivals, though running costs may be higher. mycarcheck.com has recorded just two checks, so its figures are a small snapshot: average mileage was 77,000, three previous keepers and a £200 average private-sale valuation. These are not a guaranteed market price; condition and history matter greatly on an older Rover.
