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

This 2008 Land Rover has 24 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 25,849 miles. While mileage is normal for its age, the pattern of issues suggests potential underlying wear and neglect.

The vehicle shows normal usage averaging 10,793 miles/year, but a significant drop in annual mileage from 17,051 miles (Jan 2020) to 2,749 miles (Mar 2026) is a red flag for potential inactivity or storage.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., Feb 2019, Jan 2020, Jan 2021).
  • Recurring suspension arm issues (e.g., Feb 2022 advisory, Mar 2025 major failure).
  • Consistent tyre wear advisories (e.g., Feb 2019, Jan 2021, Mar 2024).
  • Major engine/oil failure in Jan 2020, followed by a retest pass.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until March 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No mileage anomalies or fraud detected in the MOT history.
  • Consistent annual mileage for its age, averaging 10,793 miles/year.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (Mar 2026).
