2001 Land Rover Range Rover 4.6L Petrol · KX51 ABN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT pass on 20 December 2024 at 147,037 miles. While a failure occurred just one day prior at 147,033 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests either an administrative error or a negligible minor issue that was immediately rectified. Since 2021, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without advisory notices, indicating a consistent standard of mechanical upkeep. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. The data shows a significant stagnation in usage over the last three years, with the car covering only 121 miles between the December 2021 and December 2023/2024 tests. This suggests the car is used very short distances or sits for extended periods. While low mileage reduces wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, it often leads to degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake corrosion due to lack of active use. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and airframe, as low-mileage Land Rovers are prone to hidden corrosion that MOT tests may not fully. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as these parts age with time regardless of mileage. Given the long intervals between drives, check the brake calipers for seizing and the discs for surface pitting to ensure the braking system remains functional after periods of inactivity.
