The ROVER 25 (2004-05) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.0 TD 101 SE is a compact, three-door diesel hatchback from the end of Rover’s independent era. It sits in the small-family-car class, offering more space and road presence than a basic city car, while remaining easier to park than a larger family hatch. Mycarcheck.com has recorded three checks covering two distinct VINs, so these figures are a small snapshot rather than a market-wide guide. Within that limited sample, the average private-sale valuation was £600, and average recorded mileage was 122,000 miles; annual mileage averaged 30,000. The checks also showed an average of about eight previous keepers. These figures describe the vehicles checked, not every Rover 25, and make a careful history and condition check especially worthwhile. With its diesel character, it suits budget-conscious commuters and practical buyers needing an everyday hatch. Against newer small-car rivals, age, three doors and upkeep matter more than gadgets.
