Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise the investigation of the rear sub-frame and the oil leak. These issues were noted in May 2024 and remained on the record in December 2024, indicating they have not been rectified. Use these persistent advisories as a point of negotiation regarding the purchase price, as treating corrosion and sourcing oil leaks on a vehicle of this complexity can be costly.
Verify the service history specifically for the 4.4L engine to ensure regular oil changes have been performed. Given the age of the vehicle, check for any evidence of recent suspension work, as suspension arms are a known weak point for this model across the wider fleet.
The 4400cc petrol engine will result in high running costs, primarily driven by fuel consumption and a high annual road tax bracket. Insurance costs for a vehicle of this size and age can be significant depending on the driver's profile.
Typical maintenance for a Range Rover of this era is generally expensive. Between fuel, tax, insurance, and the likely need to address the corrosion and brake wear noted in the MOT history, the annual expenditure will be substantial.
Carefully inspect the rear sub-frame for the corrosion and worn pins or bushes mentioned in the May and December 2024 MOT tests. Check the engine bay and underside for the 'not excessive' oil leak recorded in the last two tests to determine its exact source.
Examine the front brake discs for the pitting and scoring identified in the December 2024 test. Additionally, check the suspension arms and tyres, as these are among the top failure reasons for this model according to aggregate MOT data.
This silver 4.4L petrol Range Rover has recorded 105,809 miles, which is notably below the average annual mileage for this model's age. It has passed its last four MOT tests, though the two most recent tests in 2024 show recurring advisories for sub-frame corrosion and an oil leak. It offers a low-mileage example of a classic luxury SUV, but one with evident age-related wear.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 83.9%, with frequent failures related to tyres, headlamps, and suspension arms.
