This 2008 Land Rover has 17 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 43,376 miles. However, a significant 12-year gap in advisory history and a recent major steering failure warrant careful investigation.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (391 mi/yr equivalent) from 2008 to 2017, followed by normal usage, with a recent major failure in November 2025.

Things to check

  • Major failure for offside front track rod end ball joint on 2025-11-18.
  • Suspiciously low mileage (391 mi/yr equivalent) from 2008 to 2017.
  • Recurring advisories for brake hose wear across 7 separate tests.
  • Recurring advisories for ball joint play across 3 separate tests.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • No dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • Consistent annual mileage since 2017, averaging 6,186 miles/year.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-18, indicating current roadworthiness.
