This 2002 Land Rover has 9 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 36,615 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with a history of head gasket and timing chain issues, presents significant long-term risks.

The vehicle shows exceptionally low annual mileage (7,620 miles/yr) for its age, with a 5-year MOT gap from 2014 to 2019, and a 3-year gap from 2006 to 2009, raising concerns about its true usage and maintenance.

Things to check

  • MOT history shows a 5-year gap (2014–2019) with no recorded tests.
  • Mileage is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle (7,620 mi/yr), suggesting long periods of inactivity.
  • Community-reported high-risk issues: head gasket, timing chain, EGR valve, and gearbox failures.
  • The vehicle is currently Untaxed and has a Not Valid MOT status, requiring immediate re-registration and MOT.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed — clean at last test
  • No MOT failures recorded across 9 tests, indicating no immediate safety concerns.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (7,620 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
