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

This 2003 Land Rover has 25 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 38,041 miles. While it has a long MOT, the recurring tyre and bodywork advisories, combined with the mileage anomalies, suggest significant wear and potential future costs.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Sep 2023 (514 mi/yr equivalent) and again before Apr 2025 (470 mi/yr equivalent), followed by normal usage, indicating periods of prolonged inactivity.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomalies: Suspiciously low usage before Sep 2023 (514 mi/yr) and Apr 2025 (470 mi/yr).
  • MOT Failure Apr 2026: Body corrosion advisory from May 2026 test failed, indicating a serious structural issue.
  • Recurring Tyre Wear: Multiple tyre advisories (Aug 2022, Apr 2025) suggest chronic under-inflation or poor road conditions.
  • Recurring Body Corrosion: Bodywork corrosion advisory noted in Aug 2022 and May 2026, a recurring and serious concern.

Working in its favour

  • Long MOT Validity: Valid MOT until April 2027, providing peace of mind for the next three years.
  • No Recent Major Failures: The most recent MOT failure (Apr 2026) was for body corrosion, not a safety-critical system.
  • Consistent Annual Usage: Normal annual mileage (7,070 mi/yr) after initial low periods, indicating regular use.
  • Euro NCAP Safety Rating: 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017) for this model, indicating a strong safety record.
