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 27 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 33,574 miles. The mileage trajectory shows a significant anomaly, and the vehicle is not ULEZ-compliant.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant anomaly: 7,753 miles between Nov 2020 and Nov 2020, and a 2,977-mile difference between retest pair on 22 Sep 2025 / 02 Oct 2025.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: 3 test failures within 12 months (Nov 2024 – Sep 2025)
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 22 Sep 2025 (most recent test) — immediate safety concern.
  • 9 test failures and 4 recurring fault domains (brakes, suspension, steering) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Unusually large mileage difference (2,977 mi) between retest pair on 22 Sep 2025 / 02 Oct 2025.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 01 Oct 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent high annual mileage (11,485 miles/yr) suggests regular use.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good structural integrity.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
