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 29,649 miles. The vehicle's age and documented issues make it a high-risk purchase.

A critical mileage anomaly exists: 187,036 miles in May 2022, then 139,053 miles in May 2023, indicating a 47,983-mile decrease.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between May 2022 (187,036 mi) and May 2023 (139,053 mi) — possible odometer tamper
  • Mileage decreased by 47,983 miles between May 2022 (187,036 mi) and May 2023 (139,053 mi).
  • Major suspension failures (Jun 2019) and engine oil leaks (May 2021) are recurring and unresolved.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (May 2023, May 2024) and steering advisories (Jun 2019, May 2021) indicate systemic neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until April 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded in the latest test (Apr 2026).
  • Consistent annual mileage before the 2022 anomaly, suggesting regular use.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for this model provides a strong safety foundation.
