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

This 2006 Land Rover has 19 MOT tests on record with a 95% pass rate and 28,587 miles. The recurring tyre and brake advisories, combined with known model weaknesses, warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 28,587 miles over 20 years, averaging 8,764 miles/year, which is slightly above the UK average of 8,000.

Things to check

  • First registration in 2006 means high accumulated wear and potential for age-related component failures.
  • Community-reported high-risk issues: oil leaks, head gasket, camshaft failure, timing chain, and EGR valve.
  • The 1.8L diesel engine is prone to DPF issues and high fuel costs, impacting long-term running costs.

Working in its favour

  • Strong MOT record with 8 of 9 tests passing and no dangerous defects remaining unresolved.
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • Recent MOT pass (Mar 2026) with valid MOT until March 2027.
  • Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating (2017) for a 20-year-old vehicle is a positive.
