2005 Land Rover Rangerover 4.2L Petrol · LF55 FLW

This 2005 Range Rover has covered 155,041 miles over roughly 21 years, which works out to about 7,383 miles per year—a typical pattern for a vehicle of this age. The mileage alone does not signal exceptional wear, but the MOT record reveals a clear deterioration trend that demands careful attention. The most recent MOT in February 2023 passed, but recorded four separate advisories: front tyres worn close to the legal limit on both edges, worn front lower suspension arm bushes on both sides, corrosion to the front lower cab or chassis within 30cm of a mounting point, and an oil leak. These are not minor wear items. The tyre wear pattern on both edges suggests either aggressive cornering, under-inflation, or misalignment—all pointing to suspension or steering geometry problems. The suspension arm bushes and the corrosion finding reinforce this picture of structural and suspension stress. Looking back to November 2021, the vehicle had already shown brake pad wear, a severely deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage dust cover, and parking brake efficiency concerns. The pattern is consistent: suspension components are failing progressively, braking performance is marginal, and corrosion is present. Between November 2021 and February 2023, the mileage rose by only about 15,200 miles, yet the suspension wear worsened rather than stabilised. This is not a vehicle improving with age.
