The ROVER 45 (2000-05) 4DR SALOON 2.0 V6 CONNOISSEUR STEP AUTO is a compact four-door family saloon, rather than a hatchback or SUV. In the UK used-car market, it sits as an older, more traditional alternative to popular family hatchbacks, with a relatively smooth V6 engine, automatic driving and Connoisseur trim. mycarcheck.com has recorded 40 checks covering 23 distinct VINs, a useful but modest sample. The average private-sale valuation was £500, while the cars’ average most recent recorded mileage was 65,000 miles and average annual mileage 3,000. Checks also show an average of about 2.8 previous keepers. These figures describe vehicles checked, not a guarantee of any individual car’s price, mileage or history. This Rover 45 saloon suits drivers wanting relaxed journeys and an alternative to Ford Mondeo or Vauxhall Vectra models. Its generous trim and V6 character are appealing, though age, running costs and condition merit checks before buying.
