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

This 2005 Land Rover has 9 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 39,005 miles. The high mileage for its age and known diesel issues present significant long-term risks.

The vehicle shows consistent high usage, averaging 12,115 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but a 2014 MOT gap is concerning.

Things to check

  • 2014 MOT gap — no test recorded for 12 months, raising questions about maintenance.
  • High annual mileage (12,115 mi/yr) for a 21-year-old vehicle will accelerate wear.
  • The 2005 diesel engine is prone to oil leaks and head gasket issues, as per community knowledge.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • No major recurring failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or suspension.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
  • Single minor MOT failure (lights, 2015) was immediately rectified.
