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

This 2003 Jeep has 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 23,365 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with its poor maintenance record and unverified mileage, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a critical 4-year MOT gap (Jul 2019 to Jul 2023) with no recorded mileage, followed by suspiciously low annual usage (e.g., 71 mi/yr before Jul 2023, 283 mi/yr before Aug 2024).

Things to check

MOT HISTORY: 4-year MOT gap (Jul 2019–Jul 2023) with no recorded mileage is a major red flag.
MILEAGE ANOMALY: Unusually high mileage before Nov 2009 (17,669 mi/yr equivalent), then suspiciously low (71 mi/yr equivalent) for 4+ years.
MILEAGE ANOMALY: Long gap in MOT history: no test recorded for 4 years (Jul 2019–Jul 2023) — mileage during this period is unverified.
MILEAGE ANOMALY: Unusually low mileage recorded before Jun 2019 (71 mi/yr equivalent).
