AI verdict AVOID 40/100
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 19 MOT tests on record with a 84% pass rate and 30,658 miles. The vehicle's age and the pattern of neglect make it a high-risk purchase.
The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing only 64 miles/year before Feb 2026, with a 4-year MOT gap (Apr 2016-Mar 2021) and a 4-year period of extremely low annual usage (Jan 2024-Feb 2024).
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (Jan 2024) — major safety failure.
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover no longer prevents dirt ingress (Jan 2024) — major safety failure.
- DANGEROUS defect: Offside Front Steering column has excessive movement up and down (Mar 2021) — major safety failure.
- Recurring MAJOR failures: Brakes (4 failures), Suspension (2 failures), Steering (1 failure) — systemic neglect of critical safety systems.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
