LAND ROVER 1011976 · 3.5L PETROL

The most recent MOT from July 2021 shows the vehicle passed with no defects recorded at exactly 7,522 miles. A clear pattern emerges from the MOT history showing recurring electrical failures, particularly lighting issues. The 2018 failure included all headlamps not working on both dipped and main beams, while the 2020 failure featured a non-working nearside headlamp and reduced rear direction indicator intensity. Suspension corrosion appears as a consistent concern. The offside front lower suspension component mounting showed corrosion in February 2020, described as not excessive but still present. This suggests ongoing rust issues in critical suspension areas. Oil leaks appear across multiple inspections, indicating persistent sealing problems throughout the engine or transmission system. These leaks represent ongoing maintenance concerns and potential future repair costs. The condition trend shows improvement followed by stability. Major failures occurred in 2018 with steering box problems and brake binding, then improved to minor issues in 2020, before achieving a clean pass in 2021.
