This 2008 Land Rover has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 40,272 miles. The high mileage for its age, combined with a 2012 MOT failure for a suspension arm and a 2013 wheel bearing, raises significant concerns about its long-term reliability and safety.
The vehicle shows high annual usage of 12,496 miles/year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with a notable spike in 2011-2012 and a subsequent drop in 2013-2019.
Things to check
- Vehicle is currently not valid for MOT, having expired on 2020-11-02.
- High mileage of 40,272 miles for an 18-year-old vehicle suggests heavy prior use.
- 2012-05-11 MOT failure for Nearside Front Front wheel bearing excessive play is a safety concern.
- 2013-04-
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- No MOT failures recorded on the 2 tests, indicating no immediate safety concerns.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, suggesting genuine usage.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects across the limited MOT history.
