2009 Land Rover Range Rover 3.6L Diesel · AD59 AVV

The 2009 Range Rover presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 December 2024 at 172,176 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The single failure on 2 November 2022 at 163,508 miles listed no defects, with the vehicle passing two days later at 163,510 miles, indicating a clerical or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage shows typical use for a 17 year old vehicle. The odometer rose from 163,510 miles at the November 2022 test to 168,781 miles by November 2023, then to 172,176 miles by December 2024. That equates to roughly 4,000 miles per year over the last two intervals, below the lifetime average of 10,128 miles per year, suggesting lighter recent use. The clean record across all dated entries shows no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions were ever raised. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and chassis corrosion, as the MOT history records no advisories but does not confirm underside condition on a British-market Land Rover of this age. The absence of flagged worn tyres, binding calipers, or failing coil springs implies previous owners kept consumables within limits, yet the two day fail-pass in November 2022 warrants checking the DVSA test station notes for the original refusal reason. Given the sparse but clean history, focus physical checks on drivetrain wear from the 172,176 miles and on age related perishing of rubber components not captured by the tester. The vehicle's low recent annual mileage may have masked standing related issues such as seized suspension joints or degraded brake hoses that a static MOT cannot fully expose.
