2005 Land Rover Range Rover 4.2L Petrol · 5 TAN

The 2005 Range Rover presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 December 2025 at 130,643 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the prior three years. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,200 miles per year. The records show 127,379 miles on 14 November 2022, rising to just 130,643 by December 2025. That equates to under 1,100 miles annually over the final three years, indicating the vehicle spent long periods stationary or saw only light local use. The only blemish is a fail on 14 November 2022 at 127,379 miles, reversed five days later at 127,393 miles with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or minor rectifiable issue rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low annual mileage and likely extended standing periods. Dormant Land Rovers of this era commonly develop corrosion on chassis members and subframes even when MOT advisories are absent. Verify the 2022 failure cause with DVSA documentation, and confirm the absence of structural rust or binding calipers before purchase. The clean record implies previous owners maintained basic test compliance, but sparse annual use warrants hands-on checks of consumables and drivetrain seals.
