1960 Land Rover MK1 2.5L Petrol · YCG 289

The Land Rover presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 27 August 2025 at 86,567 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable. Two earlier failures in 2022 and 2023 were logged at 85,601 and 86,150 miles respectively, yet the tester recorded no defects on either occasion, indicating administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle then cleared on re-test within days each time. Recorded mileage sits at 86,567 against a 1960 build, an average of roughly 1,312 miles per year. The history shows very low annual use: only 549 miles accumulated between the January 2022 pass and the July 2023 pass, and just 407 miles since. A gap exists between January 2022 and July 2023 with no interim test, but the sparse, clean record shows no consumable wear or corrosion advisories across the available entries. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity in person given the vehicle's age. Sixty-six years of service invites chassis rust and outrigger corrosion even where MOT records show none. Check suspension bushes, leaf springs, and brake components for perishing from prolonged standing. The repeated no-defect failures suggest the keeper presented the vehicle late or with paperwork issues rather than poor upkeep. Verify the documented mileages match the odometer and examine drivetrain seals for leaks attributable to low-mileage storage.
