1987 Land Rover 110 2.5L Diesel · E597 HRV

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-09-22 assessment at 212,168 miles. All tests from 2021 to 2025 show consistent compliance, indicating reliable maintenance practices by previous owners. No advisories or failures were noted across this period, suggesting the vehicle has been well-kept within its operational parameters. The mileage progression reveals an annual average of approximately 5,440 miles, reflecting low usage for a 39-year-old vehicle. Tests conducted every 12 months align with this pattern, with mileage increments between 2,500 and 3,000 miles per year. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, reinforcing the impression of controlled, intermittent use. This low mileage may indicate periods of inactivity, which could affect components like seals, hoses, or electrical systems if not regularly exercised. While the MOT history lacks specific mechanical faults, the vehicle’s age necessitates scrutiny of aging components. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear, as these often degrade over decades. Check for corrosion in underbody panels and exhaust systems, common in older Land Rovers. Verify that the steering and drivetrain operate smoothly, as prolonged inactivity can lead to stiffness or fluid degradation. A thorough pre-purchase inspection should prioritize these areas to confirm continued reliability.
