2003 Land Rover Range Rover 2.9L Diesel · WG03 AJV

The Range Rover presents a broadly roadworthy picture on paper, with the most recent test on 18 November 2021 at 125,536 miles returning a pass and no defects logged. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available record, though the data is sparse and shows two administrative-style failures on 17 November 2021 and 9 September 2019 at 125,506 and 120,266 miles respectively, both recorded with no defects cited. This pattern suggests the failures were likely procedural rather than mechanical, with the vehicle passing on re-test within a day or six weeks later. The odometer traces a low-use profile for a 2003 vehicle. From the 6 September 2018 test at 113,548 miles to the 26 October 2020 pass at 120,285 miles, the car covered only 6,737 miles across just over two years. A mere 5,251 miles were added by the November 2021 tests, leaving the recorded mileage at 125,536. At roughly 5,458 miles per year against its 23-year life, the figures imply extended standing periods, which on a Land Rover of this era typically risks perished suspension bushes, seized calipers, and corrosion to chassis outriggers rather than high-mileage drivetrain fatigue. A buyer should commission a physical inspection of the air suspension system and front lower arms, as low annual use combined with age commonly degrades rubber components and lets moisture attack structural members. The tester recorded no advisories on any pass, so the official trail gives no warning on brake disc thickness, exhaust emissions, or underbody rust, but the absence of notes on a 19-year-old 4x4 at 125k miles should not be read as a clean bill of health. Given the 2021 tests are now nearly five years old relative to today's date, the MOT history offers only a stale snapshot. Prior to purchase, a current independent inspection must confirm structural integrity, brake binding, and coil spring condition, since the DVSA record alone cannot evidence the vehicle's present mechanical state.
