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 25 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 45,611 miles. The significant mileage drop in 2020 and a 23-year-old vehicle with no recent major service history warrant extreme caution.
The vehicle shows normal annual usage (7,358 miles/year) until July 2018, but a significant drop in annual mileage to ~5,000 miles/year occurred between 2018 and 2021, with a further drop to ~4,300 miles/year by 2024.
Things to check
- Jan 2024 MOT shows engine oil advisory, brake pad advisory, and brake disc advisory — all wear items.
- Jul 2018 MOT failure for 'Offside Rear Body has a sharp edge caused by damage' is a structural concern.
- Jun 2019 MOT failure for 'Offside Front Suspension component pin or bush excessively worn shock absorber' indicates recurring suspension issues.
- Jun 2019 MOT failure for 'Nearside Front Suspension component pin or bush excessively worn shock absorber' shows bilateral suspension neglect.
Working in its favour
- Jan 2024 MOT is a clean pass with no failures or advisories, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud; mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until January 2025, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
