The ROVER 25 (1999-04) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TD IL is a compact three-door hatchback from Rover, aimed at buyers wanting practical everyday transport rather than a large family car. In the UK used-car market it sits among small, budget-friendly hatchbacks, competing with cars such as the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and Peugeot 206. Its diesel engine gives it a more long-distance-friendly character than many small petrol alternatives. mycarcheck.com has recorded 19 look-ups covering 13 distinct VINs, a modest sample that offers a useful snapshot rather than a full market picture. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £400, average recorded mileage of 91,000 miles and average annual use of 5,000 miles. The cars had an average of about 4.7 previous keepers, so condition and service history deserve particular attention when assessing an individual example. Ideal for commuters and couples, it offers useful motoring, but its age makes careful checks essential. The three-door layout keeps the Rover 25 compact, while its diesel character may suit regular journeys. It’s an affordable alternative to newer superminis, with value depending heavily on how well each example has been maintained.
