2005 Land Rover Range Rover 4.2L Petrol · FM55 RJO

The 2005 Land Rover Range Rover presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 September 2025 at 168,817 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage has held steady at roughly 4,000 to 4,500 miles per year across the record. The tester logged 152,566 miles on 14 September 2021, rising to 156,987 by 22 September 2022, 160,418 by 12 September 2023, 164,364 by 12 September 2024, and 168,817 by 12 September 2025. This low annual accumulation against the vehicle's 21-year life suggests gentle use, though the absence of any advisories across the timeline means the DVSA data alone shows no flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of chassis rails, subframe mounts, and underbody sections for hidden rust, as MOT passes with no defects do not confirm absence of early-stage corrosion on a 2005 unit. The air suspension and drivetrain seals warrant hands-on checks for age-related fatigue not captured in the test summaries. Given the clean record and modest use, previous owners appear to have kept the vehicle to a basic road-legal standard. The lack of recorded advisories offers no evidence of deferred consumable replacement, but physical verification of tyre sidewalls, brake caliper freedom, and exhaust integrity remains prudent before purchase.
