2004 Land Rover Range Rover 2.9L Diesel · AP04 GPZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass on 13 December 2024. While the record shows a failure just two days prior on 11 December 2024, the lack of recorded defects on the failure report suggests a minor administrative or technical oversight such as a bulb failure that was rectified immediately. Since that period, the vehicle has operated without recorded advisories or failures, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met minimum standards during the latest annual testing cycle. The mileage data indicates consistent, low-intensity usage for a vehicle of this age. Between December 2021 and December 2023, the car covered 9,996 miles, moving from 124,227 to 134,113 miles. This rate of approximately 5,000 miles per year is significantly below the national average for a Land Rover, which typically reduces the wear on heavy suspension components and the drivetrain. Although the specific mileage for the 2024 tests is missing, the previous trend suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-mileage stress between the recorded intervals. Despite the clean history of recorded advisories, a buyer must focus the physical inspection on common vulnerabilities inherent to the 2004 Range Rover platform. The inspector should check for structural corrosion in the sills, wheel arches, and subframes, as MOT tests often only flag surface rust until it becomes structurally significant. Inspect the air suspension system for leaks or perished bellows and examine the rubber suspension bushes for tearing, as these are frequently points of failure that do not always trigger an MOT advisory until they reach a critical state.
