2007 Land Rover Range Rover 3.6L Diesel · P3 DYK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-05-01 at 155,993 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects, confirming it remains roadworthy under current UK standards. The absence of advisories or recurring failures across the last three tests—2024-03-25, 2023-03-30 (after a rare 2023-03-29 failure), and 2022-02-21—indicates a stable maintenance pattern. The single 2023 failure at 154,694 miles was unusual, as no defects were recorded, suggesting either a minor administrative oversight or a test centre error rather than a mechanical issue. There is no evidence of worsening trends in critical systems, though the lack of advisories in recent tests means potential wear—such as suspension bushes or coil springs—has not been formally noted by the tester. The recorded mileage progression shows consistent usage, averaging roughly 8,200 miles annually over the past decade, which aligns with typical expectations for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, though the 2023 failure followed closely by a retest at nearly identical mileage (154,694 to 154,698) is notable. The most recent test in 2025 occurred just over a year ago, which is within the standard 12-month MOT window, though it does not account for any intervening maintenance or wear between then and today. The lack of advisories in prior tests implies either diligent servicing or that minor issues were addressed privately without formal MOT recording. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components not explicitly tested under MOT standards. Focus on the suspension system—particularly the front and rear coil springs, bushes, and track rods—for signs of excessive play or corrosion, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age and mileage. The braking system, while not flagged in tests, should be assessed for uneven wear on discs or pads, binding calipers, or corrosion in the brake lines, especially if the vehicle has seen off-road use. Structural integrity is another critical area; check for rust penetration in wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as the Range Rover’s design is prone to corrosion in these regions. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or sagging hangers, as emissions-related failures are not always captured in MOT tests.
