2006 Land Rover Range Rover 3.6L Diesel · RF56 AHE

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-05-10 at 137,522 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating stable roadworthiness. The prior test in 2023-05-04 at 133,958 miles also passed, though a failure on 2023-05-02 at 133,950 miles—just eight miles earlier—suggests a potential minor issue resolved swiftly. No recurring mechanical faults are evident in the record, and the absence of advisories or critical failures in the last two tests implies consistent maintenance. However, the two-year gap since the latest MOT raises concerns about unverified compliance with current safety standards. The vehicle’s mileage of 137,522 miles over 20 years aligns with an average of 6,876 miles annually, reflecting moderate usage. The MOT history shows regular testing with no significant gaps, though the 2022-03-11 test at 127,336 miles and 2021-01-14 test at 122,831 miles indicate a slower accumulation of 4,505 miles over 14 months, potentially due to seasonal inactivity. Subsequent tests show steady progress, with no evidence of rapid wear or excessive mileage spikes that might signal neglect. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to wear in older Land Rovers. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural issues is positive, but underbody rust remains a risk given the model’s age. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these can develop over time. Additionally, verifying the condition of the exhaust system and emissions compliance is advisable, as these often degrade without regular monitoring.
