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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 41,276 miles. The recurring suspension advisories and a dangerous wheel bearing defect require immediate attention.

The vehicle shows normal annual usage (11,352 miles/yr) from 2019 onwards, but a suspiciously low 491 miles/yr equivalent was recorded before Jan 2017, indicating a period of very low or no use.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage (491 mi/yr equivalent) recorded before Jan 2017.
  • Recurring suspension advisories: Wheel bearing (Apr 2021) and ball joint (Feb 2020) show repeated wear.
  • Dangerous defect: Wheel bearing advisory from Apr 2021 is a serious safety concern.
  • MOT status: Vehicle is currently not valid for MOT, expiring 2022-03-31.

Working in its favour

  • Clean MOT pass record: No failures recorded across 3 MOT tests.
  • Consistent annual mileage: Normal usage (11,352 miles/yr) from 2019 onwards.
  • No recent failures: Latest MOT (Apr 2021) passed despite advisories.
  • Euro NCAP rating: 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good safety features.
