1989 Land Rover Range Rover 3.5L Petrol · F794 TDU

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness status, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend over its recent history. The latest inspection on February 8 2026 at 63,436 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, following a similarly clean pass in 2018. This suggests that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum standards and that the current ownership is maintaining basic roadworthiness requirements. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a vehicle from 1989, averaging approximately 1,714 miles per year. There is a significant data gap between the 2011 test at 21,088 miles and the 2018 test at 60,699 miles, during which the vehicle covered nearly 40,000 miles in seven years. While the low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and braking components, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber seals and internal corrosion which the MOT does not always capture. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, particularly the chassis and bulkhead, as these models are prone to hidden rust regardless of low mileage. Despite the clean MOT record, the age of the vehicle necessitates a check for perished suspension bushes, degraded brake lines, and leaking shock absorbers. The historical failure in 2010 regarding minor items like wipers and bulbs indicates a period of neglect, but the subsequent clean records indicate these peripheral issues were addressed.
