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

This 2004 Land Rover has 26 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 38,667 miles. While recent MOTs are clean, the mileage anomalies and past failures warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Mar 2015 (35 mi/yr equivalent) and again before Nov 2024 (430 mi/yr equivalent), with a significant drop in annual usage from 2015 onwards.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomalies: Suspiciously low mileage before Mar 2015 (35 mi/yr equivalent) and before Nov 2024 (430 mi/yr equivalent).
  • Recurring engine/transmission issues: Community-reported 'head gasket', 'camshaft/crankshaft failure', 'timing chain', and 'egr valve' failures are a major concern for a 2004 Land Rover.
  • Brake system wear: Offside Front Brake hose ferrule excessively corroded (Nov 2018) and Nearside Inner Front Track rod end ball joint has slight play (Jan 2011).
  • Tyre condition: Multiple tyre advisories (Jan 2007, Jan 2010, Jan 2011) and a brake pipe corrosion advisory (Jan 2011).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-09, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current maintenance.
  • Consistent annual mileage since 2015, despite initial low usage.
  • No immediate MOT-related repairs are due for the next 12 months.
