AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2005 Land Rover has 33 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 21,378 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with recurring major failures and a 37,246-mile odometer decrease, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows a consistent increase until Sep 2024, but then a critical 37,246-mile decrease to 116,807 miles by Dec 2025, indicating a strong possibility of odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Sep 2024 (154,053 mi) and Dec 2025 (116,807 mi) — possible odometer tamper
  • Mileage decreased by 37,246 miles between Sep 2024 (154,053 mi) and Dec 2025 (116,807 mi).
  • 7 DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded across multiple tests, including a 2018 failure.
  • 4 MAJOR brake failures and 5 related advisories, indicating a chronic brake system issue.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until 2026-12-18, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
  • The vehicle has a consistent annual mileage pattern from 2018 to 2023, suggesting regular use.
