2006 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER2.9L Diesel

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 19 May 2025 at 160,885 miles with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 15 May 2024 test at 151,838 miles also returned a clean pass. The record shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating the tester found no outstanding wear requiring attention at the time of those examinations. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a 2006 vehicle, with the odometer climbing from 146,657 miles at the April 2023 failure to 160,885 miles by May 2025, an average of roughly 7,100 miles per year. The two failed tests on 25 April 2023 at 146,657 miles and 19 April 2024 at 151,835 miles both recorded no defects, which suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical non-compliance. The clean pass logged later on the same day in April 2023 and the subsequent May 2024 pass confirm the vehicle was not carrying latent faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on chassis and suspension mounting points, as a 20-year-old Land Rover of this mileage is prone to underbody rust unseen in an MOT lane without strip-down. The absence of advisories on brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes across the record does not exempt the car from consumable wear; at 160,885 miles the drivetrain and air suspension components warrant physical checks for leaks or degraded bushes. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, with the vehicle passing every recorded test once minor test-day anomalies were resolved. The sparse, clean history offers limited diagnostic depth, so a pre-purchase examination of exhaust emissions, tyre condition, and steering geometry remains prudent before commitment.
