1994 Land Rover Range Rover 3.9L Petrol · D2 RRC

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding the braking system. While it passed the latest test in September 2025 at 85,291 miles, the tester identified corrosion across all four brake pipes and a corroded offside rear hose ferrule. This represents a significant regression from the September 2022 test where the pipes were noted as being treated with wax oil to prevent such issues. The previous preventative measures have failed or were neglected, with the corrosion now reaching a critical stage despite the low mileage. At 32 years old, the recorded mileage of 85,291 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 2,665 miles per year. The data shows very short intervals of use between 2021 and 2025, with only 1,704 miles covered over that four-year period. This pattern often indicates a vehicle that sits for long periods, which frequently explains the degradation of rubber components and the acceleration of surface corrosion on metal lines like brake pipes, rather than mechanical wear from high-mile. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the entire braking circuit to ensure the corrosion flagged in the 2025 test has been professionally addressed rather than merely cleaned. The history also highlights recurring issues with steering and drivetrain components, specifically the nearside front drag link ball joint noted in 2024 and front wheel bearings flagged in 2021. The gearbox oil leak reported in 2023 should also be monitored to ensure it has not progressed into a significant failure. Given the age and low use, the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension bushings are paramount, as these areas often suffer when vehicles remain stationary.
