The LAND ROVER Had MOT Advisories That Needed a Second Look

10 Jul 2026 Patti E. LAND ROVER UNKNOWN 2008
The LAND ROVER Had MOT Advisories That Needed a Second Look

Why they booked

The LAND ROVER looked like a reliable and affordable used car. Patti E. checked the MOT history before going further and noticed previous advisories.

The advisories were not enough to reject the car immediately, but they raised questions. Patti E. wanted to know whether the tyres, brakes, suspension items, or other advisory points had been repaired properly or simply carried forward.

They booked a Premium inspection to get a clearer view before buying.
