The ROVER 45 (2000-05) 4DR SALOON 1.8 16V CLUB STEP AUTO is a compact four-door family saloon from Rover’s final years, with a traditional boot rather than hatchback practicality. Its automatic gearbox and petrol engine make it an easy-going choice for everyday journeys, while its understated styling gives it a more conventional feel than many newer small cars. It sits in the same used-car territory as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra, appealing to drivers wanting a comfortable, straightforward saloon for commuting, errands or family duties. The Club trim and automatic transmission suit buyers who value relaxed driving over sporty performance. Check condition and service history carefully, as age matters more than headline mileage on a car of this vintage. In this sample, mycarcheck.com reports nine checks across eight VINs; average private-sale valuation is £400, with 66,000 miles, 5,000 annual miles and nearly five previous keepers. These figures come from a small number of checks, so they offer an indication rather than a definitive picture of every Rover 45.
