UK Vehicle Recall Check
MG Rover was the Longbridge-based successor to Rover Group, producing the Rover 25, 45 and 75 plus the MG ZR, ZS, ZT and TF until administration in 2005. A meaningful UK enthusiast parc remains. Enter any UK registration to see whether an outstanding manufacturer recall is on file.
Enter the vehicle's UK registration to begin.
Our combined check pulls the DVSA recall database, the SMMT manufacturer feed and the DVLA recall archive going back to 1992, so where a recall exists you get the live outstanding status, the recall description and every past campaign for the same model in one place.
The UK government's official recall register. Confirms whether a recall is outstanding for the vehicle.
Industry data from vehicle manufacturers. Typically includes the recall description, not just a flag.
Every UK recall campaign issued since 1992. Surfaces the historical campaigns for the same make and model alongside the live status.
MG Rover Group went into administration in 2005, ending UK volume car production at Longbridge. UK-registered MG Rover vehicles (Rover 25, 45, 75 and the MG ZR, ZS, ZT, TF) are still covered by DVSA recall data for any safety campaigns that remain outstanding on the parc — including head-gasket and fuel-system items on the K-Series engine, selected airbag programmes, and brake-related campaigns. There is no longer an MG Rover dealer network, so recall work is typically handled by specialist independents; the check tells you what is still outstanding for the VIN.
Recall data is available for every UK-registered MG Rover, including the Rover 25, Rover 45, Rover 75, Rover Streetwise, MG ZR, MG ZS, MG ZT and MG TF. Enter any UK registration above to check.

Enter the vehicle's registration mark (VRM) and pay £1.99. We query the DVSA recall database and the SMMT manufacturer feed in a single request and return the combined result. For most MG Rover vehicles you'll see whether a recall is outstanding, the source database, and (where available) a description of the recall.
DVSA (the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) maintains the UK government's official recall register and flags whether a recall is outstanding. SMMT (the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders) aggregates manufacturer-supplied data which often includes the recall description as well as the outstanding flag. Combining both maximises coverage and detail.
Both DVSA and SMMT data sources are continually updated as manufacturers report new safety campaigns. Each check returns a timestamp showing when the data was last verified for that vehicle.
Some vehicles aren't currently listed in either database (very new registrations, very old vehicles, grey imports, and certain commercial variants are the usual reasons). When that happens we'll show "Unknown" and direct you to the manufacturer's recall portal so you can confirm directly. A refund is available if you'd like one.
Contact any authorised franchised dealer for the brand. Manufacturers carry out safety recalls free of charge, regardless of who currently owns the vehicle and regardless of age. You'll typically need the vehicle's VIN; the report includes it where the database returns one.
No account is needed to start a check. After payment we'll email you a magic link so you can access the report any time, and a shareable link if you want to send the result to a buyer, seller, or dealer.
Outstanding MG Rover safety recalls are typically handled by specialist Rover and MG independents — many former MG Rover dealers continue to support the brand through parts and service. The work can be carried out at any competent workshop using genuine or aftermarket parts; the check itself simply tells you what is outstanding for the VIN.
No. The current MG brand (sold new from 2007 onwards under SAIC ownership) has its own dedicated page. Use the MG page for any MG3, MG4, MG5, ZS or HS — those are technically separate from the 2005-and-earlier MG Rover entity.
UK registration documents for late-production Rover 25, 45 and 75 vehicles vary — some are registered as Rover, some as MG Rover. Use whichever brand matches the V5 logbook. The recall data will resolve to the registered brand.
MG Rover is part of MG Rover Group (defunct). Recall checks for these sister brands are available too.
MG Rover maintains an official recall lookup tool. Our combined check pulls from DVSA and SMMT to give you broader coverage, but you can also check the manufacturer's portal directly.
