AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2002 Land Rover has 20 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 41,928 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with a history of major engine issues and a recent MOT expiry, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows normal usage from 2002 to 2019, but a critical 12-year gap in MOT testing from 2019 to 2020 is a major red flag for unverified roadworthiness.
Things to check
- Critical 12-year MOT testing gap from 2019 to 2020 — no recent roadworthiness checks.
- First MOT test on 2006-03-04 is 4 years late from registration date (Jan 2002).
- Single MOT advisory on 2008-05-14 for exhaust leak is a safety concern.
- Vehicle is 24 years old with a 2019 MOT expiry, indicating significant age-related wear.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
- No MOT failures recorded on 2008-05-14 retest after initial exhaust leak.
- Consistent annual mileage from 2002 to 2019, averaging 6,466 miles/year.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its age.
