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 17 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 50,509 miles. While many advisories were resolved, the sheer volume of past failures and the age of the vehicle warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,448 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, showing normal usage over its 18-year lifespan.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in brakes (4 times) and suspension (2 times) across multiple tests.
  • Multiple recurring advisories for brake hose corrosion and suspension arm wear.
  • Offside Rear Upper Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (Jan 2022) — a recurring issue.
  • Offside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded over subframe (Jan 2022) — a recurring issue.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,448 miles/year, showing no fraud.
  • Valid MOT until June 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating current owner has addressed issues.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for this model, indicating a safe platform.
