2003 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Petrol · NE02 AAA

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 11 June 2026 at 136,096 miles, following a failure just three weeks prior. The record indicates a pattern of deferred maintenance regarding consumables and hardware. The May failure identified a damaged central rear seat belt buckle and excessively corroded front brake pipes, which appear to have been addressed. However, the June test revealed that both front tyres are worn to the legal limit and show uneven edge wear, suggesting potential alignment issues or neglected replacement. The presence of a non-excessive front oil leak is common for this age but remains a recurring advisory that requires consistent monitoring. At 23 years old, the recorded 136,096 miles represent an average annual of approximately 5,900 miles per year. This low usage suggests the vehicle has been used sporadically or sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. The mileage gap between the April 2024 and May 2025 tests was roughly 4,200 miles, consistent with this low mileage profile. The recurring mention of worn lower suspension arm bushes on both front sides in May and June 2026 shows that while these components are reaching the end of their service life, they have not yet reached the point of failure. A buyer should prioritize an inspection of the front brake system to ensure the corrosion noted in May was replaced rather than merely treated. The uneven wear on the front tyres necessitates immediate replacement and a wheel alignment to prevent further premature wear. Given the age and the relatively low mileage, the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the various rubber bushings are critical areas. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the history reflects an owner who responds to faults only when they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance.
