2007 Land Rover Range Rover 3.6L Diesel · VU07 FBO

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate valid until January 2026, though the record indicates a concerning trend regarding structural maintenance. While the car has achieved a pass in every test since 2021, the recurring presence of corrosion on brake pipes suggests that preventative maintenance is lagging behind the vehicle's age. The most recent test in January 2025 flagged a corroded offside front brake pipe, which mirrors a similar advisory for the nearside rear pipe issued in 2023. This pattern indicates that the braking system is suffering from age-related degradation that requires immediate professional intervention rather than simple monitoring. With 174,080 miles accumulated over 19 years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,160 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage for a luxury SUV of this vintage. The mileage progression remains steady, with an increase of roughly 12,300 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, confirming the vehicle has remained in regular service. The absence of major mechanical failures in the history is positive, yet the consistent mileage suggests that drivetrain and suspension components have reached a stage where they are likely nearing the end of their design life. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the entire brake hydraulic system, specifically focusing on the integrity of the metal lines hidden behind under-trays or grease coatings. The recurring tyre wear noted in 2021 and 2023 points toward potential issues with suspension geometry or worn bushes, which often go unrecorded until they cause uneven tyre scrub. Given the age and the specific model, check the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe mounts and sills, as these areas are prone to decay that may not always be captured during a standard visual MOT inspection.
