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

This 2006 Land Rover has 21 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 55,569 miles. The vehicle's age and known weaknesses warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,469 miles/year, with no anomalies or suspicious drops, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • High-risk engine/transmission issues: Community reports list head gasket, camshaft, timing chain, and EGR valve failures as common Land Rover weaknesses.
  • Oil leaks and gearbox issues: Recurring advisories for tyres and lights are minor, but the model's history of engine/transmission problems is a major concern.
  • Age and wear: A 20-year-old vehicle will have accumulated wear, even with consistent MOT passes.

Working in its favour

  • Clean MOT history: 7 consecutive passes with no failures, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage: Average annual usage of 7,469 miles aligns with typical UK driving, suggesting no odometer fraud.
  • Recent MOT validity: Valid MOT until July 2026, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
  • No recurring failures: The single minor light defect in 2010 was immediately rectified, showing responsible ownership.
