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 16 MOT tests on record with a 94% pass rate and 28,631 miles. The recent advisory for engine oil requires immediate attention.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 6,842 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Critical 18-year history of owner-reported engine and gearbox failures (e.g., head gasket, timing chain, EGR valve) — high risk of costly repairs.
- Engine oil advisory carried over from previous MOT — owner hasn't addressed, indicating a pending maintenance cost.
- Low mileage for age (28,631 miles in 18 years) suggests limited use, which can exacerbate known Land Rover engine issues.
Working in its favour
- Clean MOT pass record with no failures across 7 tests since 2011.
- Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,842 miles/year, indicating light use.
- Valid MOT until June 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a well-regarded safety record.
