This 2004 Land Rover has 24 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 46,919 miles. The mileage trajectory shows a significant decrease in 2017-2018, a clear red flag for potential odometer tampering.

The mileage decreased from 152,852 miles in June 2017 to 56,119 miles in May 2018, a clear indicator of possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Jun 2017 (152,852 mi) and May 2018 (56,119 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
  • Mileage decreased from 152,852 miles (Jun 2017) to 56,119 miles (May 2018) — potential odometer tampering.
  • Recurring major failures in brakes (6 failures), steering (1 failure), suspension (1 failure), and tyres (1 failure) across multiple tests.
  • Consistent pattern of DANGEROUS defects (e.g., Oct 2022 DANGEROUS tyre failure) escalating from advisories, indicating systemic neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety foundation for its age.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,617 miles/year, suggesting regular use and maintenance.
  • The vehicle has a comprehensive MOT history, providing full transparency on its past condition and repairs.
