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 20 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 35,826 miles. The recurring advisories for critical systems like brakes and suspension, combined with a 2020 service gap, warrant careful inspection.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 9,529 miles/year, with a significant drop in annual usage from 2019 to 2024, but no suspicious decreases or round numbers.

Things to check

  • Recurring advisories on critical systems: brakes (4 advisories), suspension (7 advisories), steering (4 advisories), and tyres (4 advisories).
  • 2020 MOT gap: Vehicle was off-road or not tested for a full year, raising questions about maintenance during that period.
  • High-risk diesel engine: Known for head gasket, camshaft, and timing chain failures, which are expensive to repair.
  • Long-term ownership: 21-year-old vehicle with 35,826 miles suggests minimal use, potentially leading to accelerated wear on components.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Strong MOT record: 7 of 8 tests passed, with the single failure immediately rectified and no dangerous defects.
  • Consistent mileage: Average 9,529 miles/year is normal for a 2005 diesel, with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
  • Long MOT validity: Valid MOT until March 2027, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
