AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2007 Land Rover has 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 44,846 miles. However, a clear pattern of recurring suspension and steering issues, combined with a significant 2022 service gap, raises serious concerns about its long-term reliability and maintenance.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,057 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 2022 MOT gap is noted.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension and steering advisories across multiple tests (e.g., Jan 2019, Dec 2020, Feb 2023).
- Major failure for steering rack gaiter in Dec 2020, followed by advisories in Feb 2023 and Mar 2024.
- Major failure for nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage in Dec 2020, with subsequent advisories in Feb 2023 and Mar 2024.
- Significant 2022 MOT gap (no test recorded) suggests potential off-road use or unverified history.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until July 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory over 19 years, no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded in the latest MOT tests.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
