2006 Land Rover Range Rover 2.9L Diesel · MK06 YYC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last three years. Following an initial failure in August 2021, the Range Rover achieved three consecutive MOT passes without a single recorded defect or advisory. The most recent test conducted on August 28, 2024 at 141,520 miles confirms that the vehicle met all minimum safety and emissions standards without immediate mechanical failure at that time. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between August 2021 and August 2022, the car covered 1,650 miles, indicating a period of relatively light use. The gap of 2,139 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests shows steady, predictable usage habits. This low annual mileage often reduces the wear on drivetrain components and braking systems, though it can occasionally lead to dry-rott seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity and the air suspension system. The lack of advisories for corrosion or bushing wear in the records does not guarantee their absence, especially on a twenty-year-old chassis. Inspect the lower sills for structural rust and check the control arm bushes for tearing. Additionally, monitor the air springs for leaks and test the compressor operation, as these are common failure points for this model that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical state.
