This 2005 Land Rover has 17 MOT tests on record with a 59% pass rate and 47,382 miles. The provided MOT data is incomplete and inconsistent with DVLA records, making a reliable assessment impossible.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 47,382 miles by June 2018, averaging 11,278 miles per year, which is consistent with its age.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT certificate since 2019-07-03, making it unroadworthy.
  • MOT history is incomplete and inconsistent with DVLA records, raising serious data integrity concerns.
  • The 2008-05-29 MOT pass is the only recorded test, with no subsequent history or retests.
  • The 2018-06-01 MOT pass is recorded with no subsequent history or retests, indicating a significant data gap.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • No recorded failures or dangerous defects on the single 2008-05-29 MOT pass.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 11,278 miles/year since 2005 registration.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its model.
