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 17 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 14,736 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2026, the underlying issues and inconsistent usage make this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Jul 2023 (226 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in usage, and a recent spike in annual mileage.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures: Offside Rear Parking brake inadequate effort (Jun 2024), Nearside Rear Parking brake inadequate effort (Jun 2024), and Offside Rear Parking brake inadequate effort (Jul 2025).
  • Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Jul 2023 (226 mi/yr equivalent).
  • Brake system neglect: Multiple failures and advisories for brake components over several years indicate a pattern of poor maintenance.
  • Recent MOT failure: Failed MOT on 2025-07-10 for inadequate effort at a wheel, then passed on 2025-07-11.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-07-11, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recurring failures on critical safety systems like steering or suspension.
  • Consistent annual mileage post-2023, suggesting recent owner care.
