2007 Land Rover Range Rover 4.2L Petrol · N44 RBH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of progressive structural degradation. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 133,879 miles passed, the record shows recurring instances of corrosion across the rear subframe, suspension arms, and rear sills. Although these issues are currently classified as not seriously weakened, the persistence of these faults from 2024 through to 2026 indicates that structural integrity is subject to ongoing environmental decay rather than preventative repair. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's 19 year age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. There was a significant gap of 5,737 miles between February 2024 and March 2025, followed by another 4,088 miles leading to the February 2026 test. This suggests regular but relatively light usage. However, the failure in February 2024 due to multiple tyre defects, including exposed cords and perished rubber, indicates that the previous owner neglected basic consumable maintenance until prompted by the MOT testing process. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis, specifically focusing on the nearside rear subframe mounting and the offside rear sill. The tester flagged excessive corrosion in these areas in early 2025, which remained noted as a general issue in the 2026 report. The recurring rear suspension arms and shock absorbers require close scrutiny for deep rust, as these have appeared across multiple consecutive tests. Additionally, the inner edge wear on the offside rear tyre noted in 2026 suggests an alignment issue or worn components that require immediate attention to prevent further tyre failure.
