AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Land Rover has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 29,213 miles. While these were addressed, the sheer volume of advisories and failures points to a vehicle requiring ongoing and significant maintenance.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,289 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though the first MOT in 2015 was unusually delayed.
Things to check
- Recurring major engine/oil failures (Aug 2021, Aug 2022) and advisories (Aug 2024, Aug 2025) suggest ongoing engine issues.
- Persistent brake and suspension advisories across multiple tests (e.g., Aug 2023, Aug 2024) indicate chronic wear.
- Multiple tyre advisories (e.g., Aug 2023, Aug 2024) and a recent suspension advisory (Aug 2025) signal imminent replacement costs.
- The 2015-08-21 MOT was unusually delayed, raising questions about the vehicle's early maintenance history.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-12, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent mileage trajectory, averaging 9,289 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history, indicating no immediate safety hazards.
