Buyer's Guide & Inspection Advisory
Expert automotive synthesis from historical MOT defect records and market benchmarks.
Our Verdict
Avoid this vehicle due to repeated suspension, corrosion, and tyre failures. Major repairs likely required.
This vehicle requires extreme caution. Insist on a full mechanical inspection by a specialist, focusing on the suspension system, air bag components, and body corrosion. Negotiate heavily due to the high risk of hidden repairs. Check service records for maintenance of the diesel engine and 4x4 system. Be wary of 'cosmetic' fixes that may mask deeper structural issues. Avoid if you lack mechanical expertise or budget for major repairs.
As a 3.6L diesel SUV, expected fuel economy is 25-30 mpg. Tax band is £220 annually (2026/27 rates). Insurance group 25-30 (high for a 2009 model). Major maintenance costs could exceed £2,000 for suspension repairs or air bag replacements. Annual running costs likely £1,200-£1,500 excluding depreciation.
Thoroughly check the suspension system for leaks, wear, and alignment issues. Inspect all tyres for cuts/uneven wear and replace if necessary. Examine the chassis for corrosion, particularly around sills and underbody. Test all seat belts for integrity. Check the fuel tank shield and exhaust system for corrosion. Verify the air suspension compressor and sensors are functioning. Look for signs of water ingress or body panel misalignment.
This 2009 Land Rover Range Rover has a high mileage of 165,481 miles and a concerning MOT history showing recurring suspension issues, tyre damage, and structural corrosion. While it passed some tests, recent failures indicate potential safety risks and costly repairs. No aggregate reliability data exists for this model, but the vehicle's condition raises significant concerns.
No aggregate data available for this model, but the vehicle's history suggests potential issues with suspension systems and corrosion common to older Land Rovers.
