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 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 26,999 miles. The vehicle's extremely low annual mileage and numerous unresolved issues make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,835 miles per year, with a significant 2-year period (Oct 2022 to Oct 2024) showing only 3,620 miles and a 1-year period (Oct 2024 to Oct 2025) showing only 2,013 miles.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2025): Stop lamp(s) all not working (4.3.1 (a) (iii))
  • DANGEROUS defect recorded for 'Lights' on 2019-10-01 (test 5).
  • Recurring major failures in 'Lights' on 2019-10-01 (test 5) and 2022-10-01 (test 2).
  • Persistent major failures in 'Brakes' on 2019-10-01 (test 5) and 2022-10-01 (test 2).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current owner is maintaining it.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases, despite low overall numbers, show regular use.
