1995 Land Rover Range Rover 2.5L Diesel · M130 MJT

The Range Rover is currently roadworthy, having secured a pass on 13 December 2024 at 149,725 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads stable across the supplied tests, as clean passes follow two anomalous failures that logged no faults. Testers failed the vehicle on 10 December 2024 and on 20 September 2022 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes, indicating procedural rejection rather than worn components. At 31 years old the odometer shows 149,725 miles, a low average of roughly 4,830 miles per year. The record charts modest annual use: just 3,323 miles separated the September 2022 test at 138,403 miles from the October 2023 pass at 141,726 miles, and 3,322 miles to the December 2024 test. Such light running implies prolonged standing, which on a 1995 chassis raises suspicion of perished suspension bushes, seized calipers and latent corrosion despite the clean sheet. A buyer must inspect the underbody for structural rust and examine coil springs, suspension arms and brake discs for age-related degradation the MOT omitted. The tester flagged no advisories, yet binding calipers and exhausted exhaust emissions remain plausible on a low-use Land Rover. Previous keepers sustained statutory testing but clearly prioritised minimal mileage over rigorous mechanical refresh. Confirm the nature of the two no-defect failures with DVSA to rule out administrative anomalies. The evidence supports a lightly exercised example that meets legal standards, but hands-on checks of drivetrain and structure are essential before purchase.
