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 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 23,500 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's long-term reliability and maintenance are major concerns.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 8,280 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, as evidenced by the steady progression from 23,500 miles in March 2006 to 87,391 miles in July 2013.

Things to check

  • Recurring emissions failures (Feb 2010 advisory, Jul 2013 fail) indicate ongoing engine issues.
  • Multiple exhaust advisories (Feb 2010, Mar 2007) escalated to a major leak (Jul 2013 fail).
  • Brake hose advisories (Mar 2007, Mar 2008, Mar 2009) suggest a recurring wear item.
  • The vehicle is 23 years old with a 2014-07-30 MOT expiry, indicating significant age and wear.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,280 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
