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

This 2001 Land Rover has 23 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 44,710 miles. The recurring nature of critical systems like brakes, lights, and tyres, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2017 model, presents a significant and unresolvable contradiction.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 44,710 miles over 25 years, averaging 6,910 miles/year, which is consistent with its age.

Things to check

  • Deeply troubled MOT history with 10 major failures and 23 tests.
  • Recurring failures in critical safety systems like brakes, lights, and tyres.
  • A 2013 service gap in MOT history is highly unusual for a 25-year-old vehicle.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2001 Land Rover is a critical and unresolvable contradiction.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 10 historical failures
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory over 25 years, averaging 6,910 miles/year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage readings.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2017 model is a positive for modern safety standards.
