LAND ROVER 1011976 · 3.5L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2016-07-18 shows a failure due to an insecure steering box and continued slight play in both front upper axle king pins. This indicates unresolved mechanical issues from earlier inspections. The same defects reappeared in the 2016 MOT, suggesting the problems were not properly addressed after the 2014 PASS. The 2013 and 2012 MOTs were clean with no defects, showing the vehicle was in good condition just four years prior. Since 2016, there are no further MOT records. With the current date of 2026-06-15, this means the vehicle has not been tested for over ten years. A failure in 2016 followed by no subsequent MOTs raises serious concerns about its current roadworthiness and safety. The recurring issue with the king pins and steering box points to ongoing wear or improper maintenance in the front suspension and steering system—critical safety components. The fact that these faults persisted despite a prior pass implies either neglect or incomplete repairs. Mileage stands at 44,135 miles over 50 years, averaging just under 900 miles per year.
