1987 Land Rover 110 2.5L Diesel · E170 XUG

The Land Rover 110 shows a stable mechanical history, with the latest MOT on 17 March 2022 at 107,646 miles recording a pass and no defects. Prior tests in March 2021 at 103,327 miles and February 2019 at 97,866 miles also passed cleanly. The only anomaly appears on 13 March 2020, when the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at 99,323 miles with no defects listed, pointing to an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Overall the maintenance trend is steady with no recurring advisories. Recorded mileage remains low for a 39-year-old vehicle. Between 11 February 2019 and 4 March 2021 the odometer advanced 5,461 miles, then a further 4,319 miles to the final 2022 test. That equates to roughly 2,700 miles per year, consistent with light use or seasonal operation. The absence of any MOT entry after March 2022, now over four years ago relative to today's date, indicates a prolonged period without formal inspection, likely standing unused. The DVSA data itself is sparse and clean, offering no flagged wear on consumables or structure. A buyer must still conduct a physical inspection given the age and dormancy. The tester logged no corrosion or suspension defects, but a 1987 chassis is prone to hidden rust in box sections. Check structural integrity of the frame, scrutinise suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, and test brake discs and calipers for binding after long storage. Previous owners presented the vehicle for annual tests with no advisories, suggesting basic compliance, yet skipping four years of MOT implies maintenance may have lapsed outside the recorded window. Confirm exhaust emissions and drivetrain oil seals during a pre-purchase examination, as stagnant fuel systems and perished hoses often escape MOT detection on low-mileage classics. The clean record provides a reasonable baseline, but the elapsed time since the last test demands independent verification before road use.
