LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER1997 · 4.6L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean mechanical record over the last four years. While the most recent test on 9 September 2025 at 205,205 miles passed with no defects, a recorded failure just six days prior on the same mileage suggests a specific minor issue was rectified immediately before the re-test. Despite this anomaly, the lack of recurring advisories across the 2022 to 2025 period indicates a vehicle that has maintained high mechanical standards despite its age. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 29-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between February 2022 at 193,014 miles and September 2025 at 205,205 miles, the vehicle covered 12,191 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The 7,041-mile gap between the April 2024 and September 2025 suggests regular use, which is often beneficial for older Land Rovers to prevent seal perish and brake component degradation associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as the MOT history does not flag previous corrosion or structural weaknesses. Given the high mileage exceeding 200,000 miles, a close look at the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary to ensure no excessive wear has developed. Check for any oil leaks around the engine and drivetrain, as these components are not covered by the standard MOT test unless they present significant environmental impacts.
