The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.

UK

The 1986 Land Rover LR 90 is a heavy commercial vehicle, and MOT data for this cohort comes from the DVSA heavy vehicle testing regime rather than the standard light-vehicle database—so the figures here represent a different testing standard and population than the UK average you'll see quoted for cars. These 725 vehicles show a first-time pass rate of 73.4%, which reflects the demanding inspection standards applied to commercial vehicles; dangerous defects are rare at just 0.7% of the fleet ever recorded. With a median mileage of 115,366 and very low average failures and advisories (0.13 and 0.2 per vehicle respectively), these are typically well-maintained working vehicles, though the CarHunch score of 50 reflects their age and commercial duty cycle.

If you're buying one, expect it to have been used hard but cared for—these vehicles were built to work, not to be pampered. Check service history and recent MOT records carefully, as the pass rate gap versus light vehicles reflects the stricter commercial testing regime; any vehicle that passes regularly has proven itself genuinely roadworthy.

MOT statistics not available

We have 725 1986 Land Rover Lr 90 4c Reg vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
