2005 Land Rover Range Rover 4.2L Petrol · RA55 PZX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent inspection on 17 March 2026 at 213,780 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the last three annual tests have yielded no recorded defects or advisories. While a minor failure occurred in March 2024, the immediate rectification and subsequent two years of clean records suggest the owner is proactive in addressing MOT-related requirements to maintain legal compliance. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,180 miles per year. Specifically between March 2023 and March 2026, the vehicle covered 15,173 miles, maintaining a steady usage rate of roughly 5,000 miles annually. This regular operation suggests the vehicle is used frequently rather than sitting for long periods, which often helps preserve seals and mechanical components, though the high cumulative mileage contributes to accelerated wear on rubber components and drivetrain assemblies. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage and age of this Range Rover necessitate a rigorous-person inspection of the structural integrity and air suspension system. A buyer must check the chassis for advanced corrosion, particularly in the rear subframe and mounting points, where rust often goes undetected during standard tests. Given the mileage, an inspection of the air springs for leaks and a check for wear in suspension bushings is vital, as these are common points of failure that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical state.
