AI verdict AVOID 28/100

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

This 2008 Land Rover has 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 40,587 miles. The vehicle's long history of neglect and safety-critical issues makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 204 miles recorded between Sep 2024 and Oct 2025, which is implausibly low for a 2008 diesel.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres failed 3 times (Sep 2019, Sep 2020, Sep 2022), indicating chronic neglect.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Brakes failed 2 times (Sep 2019, Sep 2020), showing a pattern of critical safety system neglect.
  • MILEAGE ANOMALY: Only 204 miles recorded between Sep 2024 and Oct 2025 is a major red flag for odometer fraud.
  • Recurring Brake Disc Wear: Advisory on Sep 2024 indicates imminent failure, a recurring issue.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until October 2026, indicating current roadworthiness despite history.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (Oct 2025).
  • Consistent annual mileage before the anomaly, suggesting regular use.
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for safety, though history contradicts.
