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

This 2005 Land Rover has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 70,838 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the high mileage and repeated tyre issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 15,701 miles per year, with a notable drop in usage from 2013 onwards, but no suspicious drops or inconsistencies.

Things to check

  • High mileage (183,000 miles) for a 2005 vehicle suggests heavy use and accelerated wear.
  • Recurring tyre failures (Aug 2010, 2010, 2015) and advisories (Jul 2008) indicate a chronic issue.
  • Brake hose advisory (Aug 2013) and steering failure (Aug 2013) suggest underlying wear on critical systems.
  • The vehicle has been off the road since 2017 (SORN status), implying long periods of inactivity.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, not sitting idle.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2017, indicating it passed a recent test.
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) confirms high safety standards for its era.
