2005 Land Rover Range Rover 2.9L Diesel · FM55 LOA

The 2005 Range Rover presents as roadworthy following a pass on 12 March 2026 at 134,090 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test cycle shows a pass and a same-day fail with no defects listed, a clerical or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, and no advisories have been raised in any entry since 2023. Mileage stands at 134,090 against a 21-year lifespan, equating to circa 6,385 miles per year, which is typical for the vehicle's age. The records show steady annual use: 126,201 miles on 22 March 2023, 130,472 on 26 March 2024, 132,775 on 6 March 2025, and 134,090 on 12 March 2026. The annual increments of roughly 3,000 to 4,300 miles indicate consistent light-to-moderate use with no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA data flags no recurring defects, suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust issues across the five-year span. A clean sheet with zero advisories suggests previous owners kept basic consumable wear in check, though MOT pass criteria do not examine health of drivetrain components like the air suspension compressors or transfer case on these models. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath the sills and chassis rails, as L322 Range Rovers of this era suffer hidden rust not always caught in MOT. Verify the 12 March 2026 fail-with-no-defect entry with DVSA to confirm it was a system error, and check the air suspension operation, differential oils, and brake caliper condition given the age and 134,090 miles on original mechanical systems.
