LAND ROVER 1091975 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a significant roadworthiness risk due to a complete absence of MOT data for the past seventeen years. The last recorded test occurred in September 2009 at 84,690 miles, where the vehicle passed after correcting minor failures related to lighting and windscreen wipers. Because no inspections have been logged since 2009, the current mechanical and structural integrity of the Rover cannot be verified. The maintenance trend is effectively unknown, as the vehicle has remained outside the regulatory testing framework for nearly two decades. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fifty-one-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,661 miles per year. Between December 2006 and September 2009, the car covered only 120 miles, moving from 84,570 to 84,690 miles. This pattern suggests the vehicle has likely spent long periods in storage or was used very sparingly. Low mileage on older vehicles often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seized brake calipers, and perished seals, which are not reflected in the low odometer reading alone. A physical inspection must prioritize the structural integrity of the chassis and body rails. The 2006 test flagged slight corrosion on the nearside front and offside rear structures; without seventeen years of monitoring, this rust has likely progressed into significant structural decay. The buyer should also examine the rear shock absorber bushes, which were already noted as worn in 2006. Given the long hiatus in testing, the brake system requires a thorough check for seized pistons and degraded fluid, as the previous record already noted an imbalance across an axle.
