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 20 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 18,820 miles. While it has a long MOT, the recurring brake advisories and a recent suspension corrosion advisory warrant significant caution.

The vehicle shows an unusually high initial mileage jump (36,617 mi/yr equivalent) before Jan 2012, followed by consistently lower annual usage, raising odometer integrity concerns.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2023-10-27 (failed MOT), indicating a serious safety lapse.
  • Mileage anomaly: Unusually high initial mileage (36,617 mi/yr equivalent) before Jan 2012, suggesting potential odometer fraud.
  • Recurring brake system advisories (8 related items) from 2020 onwards, indicating a chronic wear issue.
  • Suspension corrosion advisory noted on 2025-10-28, a common Land Rover weakness.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-10-27, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the 2023-10-27 retest.
  • Consistent annual mileage post-2012, averaging 8,571 miles/year, aligning with typical UK usage.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
