2002 Land Rover Rangerover 4.5L Petrol · H14 NRR

There is a critical discrepancy in the recorded mileage that requires immediate investigation. The vehicle was recorded at 160,919 miles in 2022, but the most recent MOT entry in 2025 shows a significantly lower figure of 126,412 miles. This suggests either a serious recording error or potential mileage tampering, making the true wear and tear on the drivetrain ambiguous. The overall condition trend appears to be worsening. After a clean report in 2024, the most recent MOT from September 2025 lists several significant advisories. These include a coolant leak at the rear of the engine and corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear upper brake pipes. A recurring mechanical pattern is evident with the power steering system. Seepage from the steering box was noted in 2021 and has reappeared in the 2025 inspection, indicating a persistent leak that has not been fully rectified. While the average annual mileage is low for a 24-year-old vehicle, the combination of brake pipe corrosion and multiple fluid leaks often points to a car that has spent long periods standing rather than being used regularly. This lack of use can lead to perished seals and accelerated corrosion in stagnant areas.
