1988 Land Rover 110 2.5L Diesel · G112 SAA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of minor electrical failures and fluid leaks. The most recent test on 8 May 2026 at 9,390 miles showed a failure due to a non-functional nearside side repeater and horn, which were rectified to achieve a pass. A recurring oil leak has been noted in every test since December 2023, suggesting a chronic issue that has not yet reached the threshold of a failure. The mileage data presents a significant discrepancy that requires immediate verification. While the current record shows 9,390 miles in May 2026, the entry from 1 December 2023 inexplic recorded 159,213 miles. This massive variance suggests either an odometer replacement, a recording error, or an engine swap. Between April 2025 and May 2026, the vehicle covered only 37 miles, indicating long periods of inactivity. This often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and brake fluid despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front end, as the April 2025 test flagged worn suspension arm pins and bushes on both sides. While these did not result in excessive movement at the time, the age of the vehicle makes these rubber elements likely to perish or crack. The persistent oil leak should be traced to determine if it is a simple gasket failure or a more significant seal issue. Given the low annual mileage, checking the chassis for structural corrosion and inspecting for seized brake calipers is essential, as stationary vehicles are prone to surface rust and binding components that regularly driven counterparts avoid.
