2007 Land Rover Range Rover 3.6L Diesel · LV07 AHJ

The vehicle shows a history of significant mechanical degradation, particularly regarding the suspension and braking systems. The most recent test in March 2026 at 175,253 miles passed, but followed a failure just six days prior. That failure was caused by a failed emissions test, a damaged wing mirror, and various corrosion issues. While the car currently holds an MOT, the recurring appearance of corrosion and loose exhaust components suggests a vehicle that is maintained only to the point of failure rather than on a preventative schedule. At 175,253 miles over 19 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 9,200 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for its age. However, the interval between 2021 and 2025 shows a sharp decline in standards. In February 2025 at 173,274 miles, the vehicle failed due to an inoperative suspension system and excessively worn arm pin bushes across the front and rear. This follows similar issues from 2021 where the rear subframe bushes were perished and brake pipes were excessively corroded, indicating chronic neglect of the underbody components. Structural and corrosion-related concerns remain a primary risk. The record consistently notes welding repairs on all road wheels and heavy corrosion on brake pipes dating back to at least 2021. The recurring presence of pitted and scored rear brake discs in 2025 indicates that the braking hardware is reaching the end of its effective life. A potential buyer should focus specifically on the structural integrity of the subframe and the condition of the brake lines, as the history shows a clear trend of allowing rust and wear to progress until they trigger an MOT failure.
