2009 Land Rover Range Rover 3.6L Diesel · Y5 NTR

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT pass dated 9 March 2026 at 105,574 miles, yet the preceding test on 2 March 2026 failed at the same mileage for excessively binding offside front and rear service brakes plus excessively worn front lower suspension arm pins and bushes. The owner corrected these faults within seven days, and the pass advisory noted only slight corrosion on both rear back plates. The maintenance trend is resolving in the short term, though the failure exposed neglected brake and suspension upkeep that required immediate attention. Recorded mileage rose from 95,593 in December 2022 to 101,429 by November 2023, then to 103,673 in March 2025 and 105,574 by March 2026. This equates to roughly 6,200 miles per year, typical for a 17-year-old vehicle, with no rapid accumulation or standing gaps of concern. The sparse but consistent annual testing implies basic use and a keeper who presented the car for statutory checks without major intervening mileage spikes. A buyer should physically inspect the front lower suspension arms for bush wear, given the March 2026 failure, and verify the brake calipers no longer bind on the offside axles. The November 2023 test flagged nearside rear CV boot leakage and offside rear shock misting; these consumable faults were not revisited in 2026 and may have worsened. Structural points demand attention: the December 2022 test recorded rear sub-frame corrosion and a corroded gearbox mounting, while rear back plates now show corrosion, suggesting untreated underside weathering on this Land Rover.
