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 8 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 80,200 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of wear suggests significant upcoming maintenance costs.

The vehicle exhibits high annual usage, averaging 26,827 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles, with no suspicious drops or inconsistencies.

Things to check

  • High annual mileage (26,827 mi/yr) indicates accelerated wear on all components.
  • Recurring major failures in suspension (6 times) and brakes (3 times) across multiple tests.
  • Multiple tyre advisories and failures (4+ related) suggest chronic under-investment in critical safety items.
  • Offside Rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin advisory (Sep 2010) directly precedes a failure, indicating a 'just passed' tactic.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
  • The high mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age and usage, suggesting genuine use.
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 provides a strong safety foundation for this model.
