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 21 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 16,732 miles. However, the MOT history reveals a pattern of recurring issues with critical safety and mechanical systems, including lights, brakes, and emissions.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,486 miles per year, with a notable drop in usage from 2019 onwards, but no suspicious drops or round numbers.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in lights (Nov 2018, 2022) and brakes (Nov 2019, 2020) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Multiple recurring advisories for suspension, steering, and tyres across 11 tests point to chronic wear.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating is excellent, but this 21-year-old diesel Land Rover has significant mechanical history.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until October 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,486 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
