2001 Land Rover Range Rover 4.6L Petrol · DA51 ACY

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 23 April 2025 at 124,871 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both 2024 and 2025. These repeated failures without recorded advisory notes suggest instances where the previous owner was reactive, addressing faults only when prompted by the annual test rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The recorded mileage of 124,871 miles over 25 years represents an average of approximately 5,000 miles per annum, which is significantly below the national average for a vehicle of this age. Data points show consistent low-interval usage, with roughly 3,500 miles covered between April 2023 and April 2024. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing or low annual use can lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and accelerated corrosion in areas that are not regularly cleared by vehicle airflow. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the structural integrity and chassis rails, as older Range Rovers are prone to deep-seated corrosion that may not always trigger a failure until severe. Given the low mileage, the suspension system bushings and air spring bellows should be checked for cracking or leaks, as these components often fail with age rather than distance. The braking system also requires scrutiny for binding calipers or corroded discs, as the reactive nature of the MOT history indicates components are only replaced when strictly necessary.
