LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER2002 · 4.4L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 105,993 miles passed after an initial failure for nearside headlamp aim. This represents a minor adjustment issue compared to the previous year, where the vehicle failed on multiple mechanical points. While the current certificate shows no defects, the history suggests that faults are only addressed once a failure occurs. At 24 years old, the recorded mileage of 105,993 miles reflects a low average of approximately 4,416 miles per year. This low usage pattern for a Range Rover of this era often suggests light use or periods where the vehicle sat stationary. Between July 2023 and September 2024, the car covered only 2,632 miles, confirming this infrequent usage. Low mileage frequently leads to the degradation of rubber components and dry seals, which correlates with the issues identified in the inspection record. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the braking system and underbody corrosion. The September 2024 failure flagged excessively corroded brake pipes on both the nearside front and the rear, with the rear pipe further obscured by grease. This often indicates an attempt to hide structural rust or leaks from inspectors. Furthermore, the non-excessive oil leak noted in 2024 requires a close look at the engine block and crankcase seals to ensure the leak is not developing into a failure. Given the age and low mileage, the integrity of the suspension bushings and the condition of the fluid lines are critical indicators of long-term reliability.
