2009 Land Rover Range Rover 3.6L Diesel · B9 TBL

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. Following a significant failure in June 2022, the car has passed three consecutive MOT tests without any recorded defects. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 66,797 miles returned no faults, indicating that the previous structural and braking issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum safety requirements. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 66,797 miles represents a very low usage pattern of approximately 3,929 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual use in recent years, with intervals of roughly 2,200 to 2,600 miles between each MOT test since 2022. While this low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often correlates with accelerated degradation of rubber-based seals, bushings, and potential corrosion, particularly if the vehicle remains stationary for extended periods. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the braking system. The 2022 failure record highlighted extensive corrosion across the front and rear sub-frames as well as the rear suspension arms. While these were later passed as not seriously weakened, the buyer should verify that the repairs involved replacement rather than merely surface treatment to ensure the rust has not progressed. Additionally, the history of multiple excessively corroded brake pipes in the June 2022 test necessitates a thorough check of the hydraulic lines for any leaks, thinning, or recurring corrosion along the length of the vehicle.
