2002 Land Rover Rangerover 2.9L Diesel · CW52 UAX

The most recent MOT from July 2025 was a pass, but it followed a failure on the same day and left a massive list of advisories. This volume of warnings indicates a vehicle that is currently suffering from significant neglect across multiple systems. The mechanical trend is clearly worsening. While earlier tests focused on isolated corrosion, the most recent entries show a systemic decline. There is now widespread wear across almost every suspension arm bush in the vehicle, thin brake pads, worn discs, and damaged brake hoses. The presence of a missing air filter and a cable-tied windscreen wiper suggests a lack of basic maintenance. The mileage of 162,953 miles is typical for a 24-year-old vehicle. This suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, but the current condition indicates that the wear and tear associated with this mileage have not been adequately managed. A serious risk pattern is evident regarding the vehicle's structure. There is a history of corrosion in the rear inner arches, sills, and door slams.
