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 25 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 60,635 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing extremely low usage for several years.

The mileage shows a significant drop to 74 miles/year between Mar 2025 and Apr 2026, and another to 849 miles/year before Apr 2026, indicating a clear and unexplained anomaly.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Mar 2026): Offside Rear Upper Suspension arm likely to become detached Heavily corroded/hol
  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Tyre has ply or cords exposed (Mar 2019).
  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Upper Suspension arm likely to become detached (May 2022).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until April 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety.
  • Consistent annual mileage of 9,787 miles/yr (pre-2025), aligning with UK average.
