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

This 2005 Land Rover has 23 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 15,371 miles. This extreme low mileage, combined with a 2019-2025 MOT gap and a 2024-05 failure, makes the vehicle's true condition and safety unverifiable.

The vehicle shows only 15,371 miles over 21 years, with a suspicious 4-mile increase between May 2024 and May 2025, indicating potential odometer fraud or severe underuse.

Things to check

  • Critical MOT history anomaly: 15,371 miles over 21 years (May 2019 to May 2025) — extreme low usage.
  • Mileage anomaly: 4-mile increase between May 2024 (48,354 mi) and May 2025 (48,358 mi) — highly suspicious.
  • MOT expiry 2026-04-30 but first valid MOT was May 2019 — 6-year gap with no recorded tests.
  • MOT failed 2024-05 but passed same day — no defect details provided, a major red flag for safety.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates strong safety features for its age.
  • No recurring major failures: single 2024-05 failure with no details, not a pattern of neglect.
  • Consistent low annual mileage: 2,377 miles/year average, suggesting light use and less wear.
  • MOT passed 2024-05 after initial failure — shows immediate retest and pass, not a chronic issue.
