1999 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER2.5L Diesel

Before committing, obtain a full service history and confirm whether the major issues flagged in the MOTs (suspension bushings, exhaust leaks, seat‑belt buckle) have been remedied. Look for receipts or a V5C note indicating recent component replacements, as the 2018 MOT listed multiple suspension failures and exhaust leaks that are expensive to fix on a Range Rover. negotiate a price that reflects the likely cost of addressing these items, or consider asking for a warranty covering major mechanical work. Be wary of any gaps in the service records, as the vehicle’s age makes regular maintenance essential to avoid costly breakdowns.

Given the vehicle’s age, inspect for rust, especially around the wheel arches and undercarriage, and verify that the diesel engine has not suffered from prolonged oil leaks noted in the 2018 MOT. A thorough diagnostic scan can reveal lingering engine missfire issues that were advisory in 2018. If the car has been well‑maintained and all noted faults repaired, it could serve as a classic off‑road vehicle, but the buyer should be prepared for higher-than‑average running costs.
