1986 Land Rover 90 2.4L Diesel · D698 DCK

The Land Rover 90 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 15 December 2025 at 40,124 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with each annual test either passing cleanly or showing a failed attempt on the same day with no defects logged, indicating administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults. No advisories or worn components appear in any entry from 2023 through 2025. Recorded mileage sits at 40,124 miles against a 1986 build, an average of roughly 1,000 miles per year. The vehicle added 6,032 miles between the December 2023 test at 29,647 miles and the December 2024 test at 35,679 miles, then a further 4,445 miles to the December 2025 reading. Such low annual use over four decades suggests prolonged standing periods, which typically accelerate corrosion and degrade rubber suspension bushes, seals, and brake calipers through inactivity rather than wear. The duplicated fail and pass entries on 22 December 2023 and 19 December 2024 at identical mileages with no defects recorded point to clerical or presentation issues at the testing station rather than owner neglect. Still, the clean record provides no evidence of prior structural or mechanical intervention. A buyer should physically inspect chassis outriggers, bulkhead, and footwells for rust, given the age and low-use profile. Check the swivel housings, propshaft UJs, and brake discs for seizing or pitting from standing. Verify tyre sidewall condition and date codes, as aged rubber on a lightly used 4x4 often hides cracking not captured in MOT data.
