2007 Land Rover Range Rover 3.6L Diesel · FD56 OVR

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 18 October 2025 at 111,487 miles with only a minor advisory for rear underbody corrosion, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Earlier tests in September 2024 and September 2021 also passed with similar corrosion advisories on rear suspension mounting areas, suggesting these issues have not progressed to a concerning level. However, the 2020 test revealed more significant concerns, including excessively worn suspension bush on the nearside front, binding brake discs, and tyres worn to the legal limit, which were resolved by the 2024 test. The 2017 record noted slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint, an issue that has not recurred in subsequent tests, implying it was addressed. At approximately 19 years old, the vehicle’s recorded mileage of 111,487 miles equates to an average of around 5,868 miles per year, which is low for its age and suggests relatively light usage or periods of inactivity. Mileage increased steadily from 81,424 miles in May 2015 to 98,567 miles by July 2018, representing roughly 17,000 miles over three years, before slowing significantly to 103,740 miles by June 2020 and reaching 111,487 miles by October 2025. The gap between the 2025 test and the current date is less than a year, confirming the vehicle remains well-maintained and recently tested. The MOT history is consistent with regular servicing, though the absence of records between 2014 and 2015 and the long gap from 2021 to 2024 may warrant clarification from the seller regarding service intervals. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the rear suspension mounting areas, particularly the inner sills, which have shown consistent corrosion since 2014 but remain within acceptable limits. The front brake system history indicates past wear on discs and pads, with the 2020 failure citing binding discs, so inspecting current brake operation and disc thickness is advisable. The recurring theme of tyre wear close to the legal limit on the rear positions suggests potential alignment or suspension setup issues that may still be present. Additionally, the 2017 anti-roll bar ball joint play and the 2020 front suspension bush wear point to components that should be examined for looseness or excessive movement during a pre-purchase inspection. Given the vehicle’s age and low mileage, checking for signs of long-term storage, such as battery health, fluid degradation, and rubber component perishing, would also be prudent.
