2009 Land Rover Range Rover Vogue S/C 4.4L 5 Door Auto Estate 4.4L Petrol · V80 ODS

A spotless MOT record across five consecutive annual tests, most recently on 26 January 2026, signals that the vehicle has consistently met the statutory safety and emissions thresholds without any recorded failures or advisories. The uninterrupted series of passes suggests that, at the times of testing, the critical systems inspected by the DVSA—brake efficiency, suspension integrity, lighting, and emissions—were all within acceptable limits. At 153,398 miles for a 2009 model, the average annual accumulation is roughly 9,000 miles, which sits comfortably within the typical usage range for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps between tests, indicating a steady pattern of use rather than periods of intensive short‑term mileage or extended storage. Mechanically, this moderate exposure translates to wear that is predictable for a vehicle approaching two decades, with consumables such as brake pads, tyres, and suspension bushings likely approaching the latter stages of their service lives. When conducting a pre‑purchase inspection, give particular attention to the front and rear suspension assemblies. Listen for clunking or knocking over bumps, which can reveal worn ball joints, deteriorated bushings, or loosened anti‑roll bar links. Examine the brake discs for scoring and measure their remaining thickness; uneven wear or a thin disc may indicate binding calipers or prior aggressive driving. Test the steering feel for any pull to one side or excessive play, which could point to worn steering rack components or compromised tie‑rod ends. Verify that all exterior lighting functions correctly and that the headlamp aim is within specification, as these items are routinely checked during MOT. Given the vehicle’s age, a thorough visual inspection of the under‑body for any signs of corrosion, especially around the subframe, wheel arches, and exhaust hangers, is prudent. Inspect the engine bay for oil, coolant, or fuel leaks around the valve cover gasket, oil filter housing, and coolant hoses, and watch for any abnormal exhaust smoke during a short run. Finally, assess the condition of the drivetrain—listen for abnormal noises from the transmission and differential, and confirm that the clutch engages smoothly without judder. These checks will complement the clean MOT history and give a realistic picture of the car’s current mechanical state.
