This 2003 Land Rover has 21 MOT tests on record with a 90% pass rate and 43,796 miles. The vehicle's low annual mileage for its age, combined with a history of severe engine problems, makes it a high-risk investment.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before 2014 (468 mi/yr equivalent) and again before 2017 (361 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, raising serious integrity concerns.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage before Nov 2014 (468 mi/yr equivalent) and again before Dec 2017 (361 mi/yr equivalent).
- Mileage anomaly: Significant drop in annual usage post-2017, suggesting periods of inactivity or potential fraud.
- Engine reliability: Known community-reported faults for head gasket, camshaft, crankshaft, timing chain, and EGR valve failures.
- Service gaps: No MOT recorded for 2019, 2021, 2022, indicating periods of off-road use or SORN.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Clean MOT record: 6 consecutive passes with no failures or dangerous defects recorded.
- Long MOT validity: Valid MOT until April 2027, offering immediate peace of mind.
- No recent advisories: The most recent MOT (April 2026) shows no advisories or defects.
