This 2008 Land Rover has 17 MOT tests on record with a 94% pass rate and 31,388 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring advisories across multiple systems, including brakes, tyres, suspension, and windscreen, indicates a high-maintenance vehicle.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 7,952 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a notable dip in recent years.
Things to check
- Major failure for lights in Mar 2024, followed by immediate retest, suggesting borderline maintenance.
- Consistent pattern of minor defects and advisories on the windscreen since 2011.
- The vehicle is 18 years old, which will naturally accumulate wear and tear.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until March 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age, averaging 7,952 miles/year.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in its MOT history.
