AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2002 Land Rover has 24 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 24,189 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's structural integrity and maintenance are highly questionable.

The mileage trajectory shows normal annual usage from 2019 onwards, but a significant anomaly exists with suspiciously low usage (516 mi/yr equivalent) before Oct 2011 and again before Jan 2022.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2025-08-09; vehicle is currently not road legal.
  • Recurring major failures in critical safety systems: brakes (3), suspension (4), bodywork (2), steering (1).
  • Persistent corrosion on structural components (sills) across multiple tests.
  • Electrical minor defects recorded in 4 separate MOT tests.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory since 2019, indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in recent tests.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories on the most recent test (Aug 2024).
