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 21 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 23,388 miles. While mileage is consistent, the sheer volume of past issues suggests significant ongoing maintenance and potential future costs.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 23,388 miles over 18 years, averaging 7,474 miles/year, which is below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in brakes (2 failures, 10 advisories) and lights (2 failures, 9 advisories) across multiple tests.
  • Suspension component corrosion (May 2026) and shock absorber leaks (Apr 2023) indicate structural and component wear.
  • Consistent advisories for exhaust system issues (4 tests) suggest a chronic problem area.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars is excellent, but this vehicle is not ULEZ-compliant.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-09, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
  • All past failures and advisories were addressed and retested successfully.
