2006 Land Rover Range Rover 4.2L Petrol · Y3 AKF

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward structural-related concerns. While the most recent test in November 2024 at 129,319 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged visible underbody corrosion. This marks a departure from the clean records seen between 2021 and 2023, indicating that the structural integrity of the chassis is beginning to degrade and requires close monitoring. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,466 miles per year. Between June 2021 at 114,671 miles and November 2024 at 129,319 miles, the car covered 14,648 miles, representing a steady and realistic usage profile. The failure in June 2021 was a minor electrical issue involving a non-functional offside front lamp, which was rectified immediately to allow for a pass and does not suggest a history of mechanical neglect. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to determine the extent of the corrosion noted in the 2024 test. Given the age of this Range Rover, particular attention should be paid to the frame rails, suspension mounting points, and exhaust brackets where rust often compromises structural rigidity. The lack of recorded advisories for brakes or suspension in previous years suggests these components have been holding up, but the sudden appearance of rust is the primary risk factor for long-term viability of the vehicle.
