2004 Land Rover Range Rover 2.9L Diesel · CU04 UXD

The 2004 Range Rover presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 September 2024 at 179,057 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle clearing its final test cleanly after two earlier failures that themselves carried no listed defects. This suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical decay. Recorded mileage sits at 179,057 against a 22-year lifespan, equating to roughly 8,139 miles per year and matching typical use for the model. The gap between the 15 November 2021 pass at 157,441 miles and the 9 December 2022 pass at 170,471 miles shows about 13,000 miles added in thirteen months, a normal private-use rate. A shorter gap appears between 25 June 2024 and 20 September 2024, where mileage moved only nine miles across a fail and a pass, indicating the car was parked while the test anomaly was resolved. The DVSA record flags no advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions across any entry. Buyers should still inspect structural integrity at chassis outriggers and subframe mounts, as twenty-year-old Land Rovers commonly suffer hidden rust not captured in a clean MOT. Verify the front and rear coil springs and damper condition, since the test history gives no evidence of wear being monitored. Two failures with no defects recorded, on 8 November 2021 and 25 June 2024, imply the previous owners addressed compliance promptly rather than neglecting the vehicle. A clean 2024 result at high mileage reflects acceptable upkeep, though in-person checks on drivetrain leaks and binding calipers remain sensible given the age.
