Whilst both Trident Honda's branches are now Honda Dealerships, both were previously MG Rover. As a result, Trident Honda are still able to service, MOT and repair MG Rover vehicles. Indeed most of our technicians are MG Rover factory-trained and both branches have the MG Rover Testbook diagnostic computers.

Our Ottershaw branch is still continuing to supply used MG Rovers and we often have quality used vehicles available in our stock. A 1-year warranty is supplied free-of-charge, when buying a used MG Rover from Trident Honda, but you are able to extend this up to 5-years, at additional cost.
