AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2002 Land Rover has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 50,457 miles. While it has a long, high mileage history, the repeated failures and advisories point to significant and ongoing maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 10,028 miles/year, but a 24,994-mile discrepancy on 07 Jul 2016 and 11 Jul 2016 retests is a significant anomaly.

Things to check

  • Five major brake failures (Oct 2008, Jun 2014, Jul 2016, Feb 2018) indicate chronic issues.
  • Three major suspension failures (Oct 2008, Jun 2014, Jul 2016) suggest ongoing structural neglect.
  • Recurring advisories for tyres (Jul 2006, Oct 2007, Oct 2008) and steering (Sep 2006, Oct 2008) point to consistent wear.
  • The 24,994-mile mileage discrepancy on 07 Jul 2016 and 11 Jul 2016 retests is a major red flag for odometer integrity.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Consistent high annual mileage (10,028 miles/year) suggests regular use, not prolonged storage.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
  • The 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating (2017) indicates a strong safety foundation for its age.
