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 80% pass rate and 24,045 miles. The vehicle's history of oil leaks and head gasket issues, though not directly in MOT records, presents significant long-term risks.

The vehicle shows exceptionally low annual mileage averaging 3,316 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards (e.g., 1,786 miles in 2020).

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension advisories (e.g., corroded arms, 2021) and tyre wear (e.g., perishing, 2008) suggest ongoing wear.
  • The 2003 diesel engine is prone to head gasket failure and oil leaks, which are expensive to repair.
  • The vehicle's low annual mileage (3,316 miles/year) for a 23-year-old car may indicate long periods of inactivity, potentially harming mechanical components.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-07-13, indicating current roadworthiness and recent safety checks.
  • Consistent low mileage (24,045 miles in 23 years) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
