2005 Land Rover Range Rover 2.9L Diesel · YM54 BOJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by a clean pass record across the last five inspections. The most recent test conducted on 24 March 2025 at 182,904 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistent performance suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids the common mechanical and structural failures typically associated with this age and model. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2025, the vehicle covered 11,072 miles, showing steady usage without excessive strain. There is a notable gap in records between the April 2020 and March 2022 tests, during which the vehicle covered only 6,421 miles. However, the subsequent pass without any advisories indicates that the vehicle did not suffer from long periods of standing that would lead to fluid degradation or seized components. Despite the clean MOT history, an in-person inspection must focus on the high-wear components inherent to the Range Rover platform. A buyer should examine the structural integrity of the chassis for hidden corrosion, as the MOT only checks for significant rust once it becomes a safety risk. Given the mileage, the air suspension system should be tested for leaks or sagging, and the control arm bushes should be inspected for play or tearing. The lack of recorded brake advisories suggests the calipers are currently in good condition, but a physical check for binding or uneven wear remains necessary.
