AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Land Rover has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 45,085 miles. However, a dangerous brake failure in 2020 and recurring tyre advisories, combined with significant community-reported diesel engine issues, warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 45,085 miles over 10 years, averaging 8,859 miles per year, which is slightly above the UK average of 8,000.
Things to check
- Dangerous rear brake failure on 2020-12-07, indicating a critical safety component was neglected.
- Recurring tyre advisories on 2019-10-03 (front and rear) suggest a pattern of wear and tear.
- Community-reported high-risk diesel engine issues (oil leaks, head gasket, clutch) for this model.
- Apr 2022 MOT advisory for general underbody corrosion is a significant long-term concern.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-16, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, normal mileage trajectory (45,085 miles) for its 10-year lifespan.
- No recurring major system failures (e.g., no repeated brake or suspension failures).
- Recent clean MOT pass on 2025-12-16, showing current roadworthiness.
