    Ask if its had the head gasket changed - and if it has, did it have the Land Rover one put in as a replacement (its far more reliable)
    Timing belt should have been done for definite by now, possibly twice - some recommend doing it before the MGR suggested interval

    The Rover K-Series engine has an appetite for head gaskets. Make sure there is no mayonnaise-like mush when you remove the radiator cap.

    Make sure you have all keys and codes as there can occasionally be problems since the dealers are not official rover dealers anymore.
