2002 Land Rover Range Rover 4.6L Petrol · BX02 YLM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 67,809 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, moving from recorded mechanical and exhaust advisories in earlier years to a clean sheet in the two most recent annual tests. This suggests that the previous owner proactively addressed identified mechanical issues once they were flagged during testing. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,825 miles per year. Between January 2022 and February 2026, the car covered only 142 miles, indicating long periods of stationary or very short-distance use. While this low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, such a pattern of infrequent use often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, brake corrosion, and drying out seals, which are not necessarily reflected by mileage alone. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and drivetrain due to the history of faults in these areas. The 2024 test flagged a severely deteriorated nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover, and the 2023 record noted a worn front prop shaft joint. Although these passed in subsequent tests, the low-use pattern suggests these rubber components are prone to cracking or seizing from age. Furthermore, the 2022 advisories regarding deteriorated central and rear silencers necessitate a check for surface rust or structural thinning to ensure the exhaust system remains sound despite the recent pass.
