2004 Land Rover Range Rover 2.9L Diesel · FP54 AOD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in September 2023 at 161,525 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met all safety and environmental standards at that time. This lack of advisories or failures suggests a proactive approach to maintenance where the owner likely addressed mechanical issues before they triggered a formal MOT failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per annum. Between April 2019 and September 2023, the vehicle covered 14,706 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of neglect or heavy commuting. The gap between the 2022 test at 160,101 miles and the 2023 test at 161,525 miles shows only 1,424 miles driven, which is significantly lower than the annual average and could potentially lead to dry rot in seals or tyres if not monitored. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and air suspension system, as the MOT record does not capture the current state of these components. Given the age and mileage of this Range Rover, corrosion on the chassis rails and rear subframe is critical as these areas often hide structural rust. While the history is clean, the buyer must check for leaks in the air springs and wear on the suspension bushes, as these are common points of failure that occur regardless of a passing MOT history.
