1989 Land Rover 110 County 2.5L Diesel · 162 FHT

The 1989 Land Rover 110 County demonstrates a stable and consistently sound mechanical condition according to its MOT history. The most recent test on 2025-06-02 at 136,316 miles passed without any defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of identical outcomes in previous years, with the 2024-06-06 test at 131,393 miles, the 2023-05-26 test at 126,737 miles, and the 2022-06-07 test at 126,671 miles all passing with zero faults. The absence of recurring mechanical failures or advisories across these inspections indicates a vehicle that has been kept in reliable working order. The recorded mileage sits at 136,316 miles, which equates to a mere 3,684 miles per year over the vehicle's 37-year lifespan. This exceptionally low annual usage is clearly reflected in the chronological data. Between the 2022-06-07 test at 126,671 miles and the 2023-05-26 test at 126,737 miles, the vehicle covered just 66 miles in nearly a full year, suggesting a prolonged period of standing. However, usage increased notably thereafter, with 4,656 miles covered between May 2023 and June 2024, and 4,923 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. The recent uptick in mileage implies the vehicle is now being driven more regularly after sitting idle. Despite the pristine MOT record, a buyer must inspect this vehicle thoroughly in person, as low-mileage, long-term standing creates specific failure modes that do not always trigger immediate MOT defects. The extended stationary period likely accelerated the perishing of rubber suspension bushes and the deterioration of brake hoses. A close examination of the chassis is essential; focus on the outriggers, crossmembers, and bulkhead for structural corrosion, which remains a primary concern for the Land Rover 110. Inspect the brake calipers for signs of binding and the brake discs for surface corrosion caused by standing. Check the condition of the tyres for flat-spotting and sidewall cracking, as older rubber compounds degrade with age regardless of tread depth. Assess the fuel system for varnish buildup and verify the condition of the coolant hoses, as older rubber components often fail internally without visible external signs.
