1997 Rover - Austin 200 214 review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed new tappits after 800 miles (covered on warranty).
Generic fault with high tail light (not covered by extra warranty) £25 + vat.
Needed new tyre after 23,000K.
Generic fault on driver airbag (covered by warranty).
Front brake pads require replacing after 12,000 miles.
General comments?
Despite this car going to the dealer every 2 months from new, the car has not had any major problems other than the tappits to keep it off the road.
With good performance, comfort and great handling I am pleased.
I will buy another 200, maybe a VI or BRM.
