1991 Land Rover Range Rover 3.9L Petrol · J84 OAC

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the December 2025 MOT cycle, with a pass recorded at 72,764 miles on 13 December 2025 after a failed attempt the prior day at identical mileage with no defects logged. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available record, showing no advisories or mechanical faults flagged by testers from 2021 through to the latest test. A clean sheet on every pass suggests the Range Rover has been kept to a standard that satisfies annual inspection, though the December 2025 fail with no recorded defect points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical breakdown. Mileage data shows extremely low annual use for a 1991 vehicle, totalling just 611 miles between the May 2021 test at 72,153 miles and the December 2024 pass at 72,200 miles, then a further 564 miles to the December 2025 figure of 72,764. The longest gap falls between April 2022 and December 2024, where the car covered only 12 miles yet missed the 2023 cycle entirely. Such sparse accumulation over 35 years implies long periods of storage, which on a Land Rover of this era typically allows corrosion to develop on chassis members and suspension mounts even when the odometer stays low. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity beneath the body, focusing on chassis rails, outriggers, and suspension bushes for hidden rust given the standing periods. The brake discs, calipers, and coil springs warrant physical checks for seizure or perishables, as low mileage and intermittent testing will not reveal binding calipers or cracked springs without road use. Exhaust emissions and fuel system condition should also be verified, since infrequent running on a 3.5-litre unit can mask idle instability not captured in a no-defect MOT pass.
