2006 Land Rover Range Rover 4.2L Diesel · LP56 OAK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 4 February 2025 at 170,656 miles. The record shows a clean bill of health with no defects or advisories noted during the last three successful tests. While the car failed its tests on 25 January 2025 and 3 November 2023, the lack of recorded defects suggests these failures were likely due to administrative issues or minor faults corrected immediately before the retest. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 8,533 miles per year. Between 24 October 2022 and 4 February 2025, the odometer rose from 163,259 to 170,656 miles. This steady accumulation of 7,397 miles over approximately two years indicates the car has remained in regular use rather than sitting idle, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must manually inspect the chassis and suspension components. Range Rovers of this era are prone to significant corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, which testers may overlook if the vehicle is clean. You should specifically check the condition of the air suspension bags and the integrity of the suspension bushes, as these high-wear items often degrade without triggering an immediate MOT failure. Verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals. The absence of advisories regarding brake disc wear or tyre tread suggests a level of basic upkeep, but the high total mileage makes a thorough check for drivetrain leaks and gearbox smoothness essential. Focus on the underbody for signs of oil seepage from the engine or differentials to ensure the mechanical health matches the clean testing record.
