AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2003 Land Rover has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 19,790 miles. While mileage is consistent, the sheer volume of failures and advisories makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 7,752 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 2015 service gap is noted.
Things to check
- Persistent brake failures and advisories across 14 tests (e.g., Aug 2013 FAIL, Jul 2012 ADVISORY).
- Recurring tyre failures and advisories (e.g., Jan 2009 FAIL, Jul 2012 ADVISORY).
- Recurring seatbelt failures and advisories (e.g., Jan 2009 FAIL, Nov 2014 ADVISORY).
- Recurring position lamp failures and advisories (e.g., Jan 2009 FAIL, Nov 2014 ADVISORY).
Working in its favour
- Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,752 miles/year, indicating regular use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
- The vehicle has a long, consistent service history, albeit with many failures.
- No recent MOT failures, indicating the owner has been proactive in addressing issues.
