1995 Land Rover Range Rover 2.5L Diesel · N320 DDM

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a failure in June 2025. While the car maintained a pass between 2022 and 2024, the structural integrity shows a clear worsening trend. The most recent test at 170,824 miles identified critical corrosion on the nearside rear integral body structure where the rigidity of the assembly is now significantly reduced. This represents a severe escalation from previous years where corrosion was merely noted on the sills but had not yet compromised structural strength. At 170,824 miles, the Range Rover reflects low annual usage for its age, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent but low-use patterns, with only 736 miles recorded between June 2024 and June 2025. However, the low mileage has not protected the vehicle from significant environmental degradation. The persistent presence of engine oil leaks and offside front axle seal leaks across all five recorded tests suggests that the vehicle likely sits for long periods, which often contributes to seal degradation and accelerated rust-related component failure. A buyer must prioritize a thorough structural inspection of the inner sills and integral body points, as the record confirms that rust has progressed from surface thinning to structural failure. The tester also flagged an excessively worn offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and a binding rear service brake, indicating that the suspension and braking systems require immediate attention. The recurring corrosion on all four coil springs throughout the four-year period suggests a high risk of imminent spring failure. Given the history of inoperative doors and lights in 2022, the general mechanical state of secondary hardware should also be verified for functional operation.
