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

This 2004 Land Rover has 23 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 17,513 miles. This, combined with a dangerous suspension failure and recurring brake issues, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows only 67,675 miles in 20 years, averaging 3,122 miles/year, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year and raises serious odometer integrity concerns.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 67,675 miles in 20 years (Aug 2025).
  • Dangerous suspension failure (5.3.3(b)(ii)) recorded on Aug 2025, indicating a serious safety defect.
  • Recurring brake system failures and advisories across multiple tests (Aug 2022, Aug 2025).
  • Recurring suspension component failures and advisories (Aug 2025).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-09-15, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories from the last test (Aug 2025).
  • Consistent annual mileage increases despite being very low.
