1968 Land Rover 2A 2.3L Petrol · OWD 882F

The vehicle maintains a clean roadworthiness record, having secured consecutive passes without recorded defects in the September 2022, 2024, and 2025 tests. While the September 2023 test resulted in an initial failure, the absence of specific defect data suggests a clerical error or a minor rectification that was addressed immediately prior to the successful retest eight days later. This history indicates a stable maintenance trend, suggesting the vehicle is currently in a functional state of repair. The recorded mileage of 31,852 over fifty-eight years confirms a pattern of light, intermittent usage. Averaging roughly 549 miles per annum, the vehicle has spent significant periods in storage or limited operation. Such low mileage often masks issues related to long-term inactivity, such as perished rubber seals, fuel system degradation, or internal corrosion within the engine and drivetrain components that do not manifest during a standard MOT inspection. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and bulkhead, as these areas are prone to structural corrosion on Land Rover Series models regardless of low mileage. Inspect the leaf springs and suspension bushes for signs of hardening or cracking, as these components often deteriorate due to age rather than mechanical wear. Check the brake system for signs of fluid leaks or seized wheel cylinders, as the infrequent use of the vehicle increases the risk of binding components. A thorough assessment of the oil seals and gaskets is also recommended, as these are likely to have dried out during the vehicle's extended periods of dormancy.
