1992 Land Rover County 2.5L Diesel · J790 HGK

The Land Rover County presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 December 2024 at 159,229 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the prior clean pass on 19 January 2024 at 159,166 miles. Two consecutive MOTs with zero advisories indicate the vehicle currently meets statutory standards and shows no worsening mechanical condition across the recorded period. The odometer reflects remarkably low use for a 34-year-old utility vehicle. Between the January and December 2024 tests the County covered only 63 miles, and the lifetime average sits near 4,683 miles per year. Such limited accumulation suggests extended periods of standing rather than regular service, a pattern that often masks perished rubber components and stagnant fluids not captured by a pass result. The sparse record offers no evidence of rapid wear or neglected consumables, yet the absence of historical entries before 2024 leaves earlier care unverified. A buyer should physically inspect the chassis and bulkhead for structural corrosion, as long dormant Land Rovers commonly develop hidden rust in box sections despite a clean MOT. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers warrant hands-on checks for cracking or binding after years of low movement. Verify the brake discs and exhaust emissions under cold start, since infrequent running can precipitate surface pitting and fuel system issues unseen at test. Given the minimal mileage and fault-free record, this County likely received careful storage rather than hard use. Prospective owners must still commission an independent underside inspection before purchase, as MOT passes at 159k miles do not certify long-term durability of a three-decade-old drivetrain.
