1974 Land Rover 109 2.2L Diesel · MOW 128Y

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 12 December 2025 at 24,917 miles with no defects recorded. A clean pass without advisories indicates that the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards at the time of testing. The recorded mileage of 24,917 miles is exceptionally low for a 1974 model, averaging roughly 479 miles per year. This suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods in storage or has seen very light duty. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation in the available records, which typically points to a preserved example rather than a hard-worked utility vehicle. Given the age of this Land Rover 109 and the low usage pattern, a physical inspection should focus on the effects of long-term standing. The buyer must check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and brake hoses, which degrade regardless of mileage. Particular attention should be paid to the chassis and body panels for hidden corrosion, as the MOT record does not provide a detailed history of structural repairs. The lack of recent faults is positive, but the buyer should verify the condition of the fluids and seals. Low-mileage vintage vehicles often suffer from dried-out seals or contaminated oil if not exercised regularly. A thorough check of the braking system for seizing calipers or drums is recommended to ensure the vehicle has been maintained beyond the basic requirements of the annual test.
