1996 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER4.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents in a concerning state of maintenance with a clear trend of mechanical neglect and structural degradation. The most recent record from February 2015 at 86,755 miles resulted in a failure due to critical safety and component faults, including an SRS warning lamp and perished suspension components. Given that there are no recorded tests for over eleven years, the vehicle's current roadworthiness is entirely unknown and likely non-compliant with modern standards based on the unresolved issues identified during its last inspection. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per year. However, the data shows a significant lack of activity between July 2012 and January 2014, where the car covered only 56 miles in nearly eighteen months. This pattern suggests the vehicle has sat for long periods, which directly explains the advanced deterioration of rubber components like ball joint dust covers and brake hoses, as well as the persistent corrosion on fuel pipes and the exhaust system noted throughout the history. A buyer must conduct a rigorous inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis, as records consistently flagged corrosion near the towbar mounting and on the underside as early as 2012. The recurring reports of engine and gearbox oil leaks indicate long-term fluid issues that have not been addressed. Furthermore, the braking system requires close attention due to a history of binding calipers, pitted, and scored discs across multiple tests. The suspension also shows a pattern of failure in track rod ends and ball joints, suggesting that a comprehensive overhaul is necessary to ensure the vehicle is safe for road use.
