This 2001 Land Rover has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 86,121 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2014-08-29, which is a major red flag.
The vehicle shows high annual usage averaging 13,141 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but consistent high mileage.
Things to check
- MOT status 'Not valid' (2014 expiry) — illegal to drive and requires immediate re-MOT.
- Dangerous brake failure (2013) — a serious safety defect that must be fully resolved.
- High mileage (165,975 mi) — indicates heavy commercial or high-use history, accelerating wear.
- Multiple major failures (brakes, steering) — suggests a history of poor maintenance or hard use.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, potentially extending service intervals.
- No recurring failures on the same system after initial repairs, indicating issues were addressed.
- Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
