1995 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER4.6L PETROL

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend reveals a persistent failure to address recurring mechanical advisories. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 132,909 miles passed, it flagged a deteriorated nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover and a non-excessive oil leak. This specific suspension fault has appeared in every annual test since 2022, indicating a pattern of performing the minimum repairs required to pass the test rather than proactive preventative maintenance. At 31 years old, the Range Rover has covered a modest 132,909 miles, averaging approximately 4,287 miles per year. The usage is extremely sporadic between February 2022 and April 2023, where the vehicle covered only 69 miles in over a year. This low-mileage pattern suggests the car sits for long periods, which on a 1995 vehicle of this age often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals. This aligns with the persistent oil leaks and perished dust covers noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry and the braking system. The recurring rear brake pipe corrosion noted in 2023 and 2024 requires a close look beneath the grease to ensure the structural integrity of the metal lines is not compromised by thinning. Furthermore, the persistent oil leak needs professional diagnosis to determine if it is a simple gasket seep or a more significant seal failure, given the vehicle's age and the long intervals between use.
