AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2003 Land Rover has 26 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 27,771 miles. The vehicle's history shows a pattern of recurring major failures and advisories, particularly concerning brakes and engine oil, alongside a critical mileage anomaly.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Jan 2015 (55 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, indicating potential odometer fraud or a long period of inactivity.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage before Jan 2015 (55 mi/yr equivalent).
  • Recurring major failures: Brakes failed in Mar 2022, with 9 related advisories.
  • Recurring major failures: Emissions failed in Oct 2018, with no related advisory.
  • Recurring major failures: Engine oil advisory recurring across 5 tests.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until March 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current owner's diligence.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory post-2015, despite initial low usage.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers in the provided data.
