2006 Land Rover Range Rover 2.9L Diesel · P666 AAL

The vehicle passed its latest MOT on 19 March 2024 at 141,148 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend shows improvement: the August 2022 test flagged front anti‑roll bar linkage play and corroded brake pipes, yet those items were absent from the July 2023 and March 2024 tests, indicating they were remedied. Earlier 2021 failures—incorrect position lamp colour, non‑operating horn and high headlamp aim—have not reappeared, suggesting the car’s condition has stabilised rather than deteriorated. Mileage accumulation has been steady over the car’s 20‑year life, reaching 141,148 miles, which averages roughly 7,000 miles per year. The jump from 119,340 miles in August 2022 to 136,069 miles in July 2023 added 16,729 miles in about 11 months, a higher than typical annual rate for a vehicle of this age. MOT entries remain roughly annual, with no long gaps where mileage stalled, reflecting consistent testing compliance. A buyer should inspect the front brake pipes for corrosion and secure routing, the anti‑roll bar linkage ball joint for excess play, and the rear brake pads for thickness. Check the parking brake lever travel and the steering rack inner joint for noticeable play. Verify that the front position lamps emit the correct colour, the headlamp aim is within specification, and the registration plate lamp functions. Examine the rear tyres for wear, as they were noted close to the legal limit in 2020, and look for rust on under‑body trays and deteriorated suspension bushes.
