This 2008 Land Rover has 11 MOT tests on record with a 91% pass rate and 32,890 miles. The vehicle's long history of reported diesel engine issues, combined with the current MOT status, demands thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 32,890 miles over 18 years, with a significant drop from 73,500 miles in April 2019 to 75,741 miles in February 2023.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2024-02-26; vehicle is currently not valid for road use.
- Mileage of 32,890 miles over 18 years is suspiciously low, indicating minimal use.
- First MOT not recorded until 2019 (11 years after registration), suggesting long periods off-road.
- Community-reported high-risk diesel engine issues (oil leaks, head gasket, timing chain) are a major concern for this age.
Working in its favour
- No MOT failures recorded across all tests, indicating no immediate safety concerns.
- The vehicle has consistently passed all MOT tests since its first attempt in 2019.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a robust and safe vehicle design.
- Long service intervals of 21,000 miles for the diesel engine can be beneficial.
