This 2008 Land Rover has 15 MOT tests on record with a 87% pass rate and 30,190 miles. The mileage trajectory is also highly irregular, suggesting periods of inactivity or potential fraud.

The vehicle shows a suspiciously low mileage of 127 miles/year before March 2022 and 478 miles/year before February 2023, followed by a significant drop to 163 miles/year between December 2020 and March 2022, indicating potential odometer fraud or extended periods of inactivity.

Things to check

  • Major electrical failure recorded on 2011-03-02, though retested and passed.
  • No MOT tests recorded between 2015 and 2021, indicating a 6-year gap in official inspections.
  • Mileage trajectory is highly irregular, with suspiciously low readings before 2022 and 2023.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (7 instances) and suspension advisories (2 instances) suggest ongoing wear.

Working in its favour

  • No dangerous defects or major recurring failures are present in the MOT history.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars indicates a strong safety record for its time.
