1989 Land Rover 90 4C SW DT Diesel 2.5L Diesel · IIL 5074

The Land Rover 90 passed its most recent MOT on 15 February 2023 at 300,000 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable. The earlier test on 16 November 2021 also passed clean at the same 300,000 miles. Two consecutive passes with no advisories indicate the vehicle met roadworthiness standards at both inspections, though the record covers only a narrow window of its 37-year life. The odometer shows 300,000 miles across roughly 37 years, equating to about 8,100 miles per year which is typical for a vehicle of this age. A notable point is the identical mileage at both 2021 and 2023 tests, suggesting the clock was not advanced between inspections or the vehicle saw negligible use in that 15-month span. With only two entries supplied and no failures or advisories, the dataset is sparse and clean, giving limited insight into consumable replacement cycles or hidden wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity given the age and the known rot propensity of 1989-era Land Rover chassis and bulkheads. The MOT record flags no corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake defects, but testers can miss early-stage chassis pitting hidden by underseal. Verify the actual mileage against service books, as the static 300,000 reading across two tests warrants confirmation the instrument is functioning. Check brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions on a cold start, and confirm the diesel drivetrain shows no undue crank or transmission noise at this mileage. The clean record is reassuring but cannot substitute for a physical appraisal of a 300,000-mile off-road derivative that may have spent time in harsh conditions.
