2005 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Petrol · YR55 YWT

The vehicle shows an inconsistent maintenance trend according to the available MOT data. The most recent test on 3 July 2023 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure on 24 June 2023. While the 2023 pass suggests the immediate issues were addressed, the failure occurring just nine days prior indicates a lapse in roadworthiness that required rectification. The 2022 test on 16 May 2022 also resulted in a pass with no defects, showing a period of compliance before the 2023 failure. The recorded mileage of 104,783 miles suggests an average annual usage of approximately 4,990 miles over the vehicle's 21-year lifespan. This represents low-intensity usage compared to typical UK averages. However, the MOT history provided is sparse, covering only three tests between May 2022 and July 2023. There is a significant gap in documented testing between the 2023 test and the current date of 29 August 2026, meaning the vehicle has not had a recorded MOT for over three years. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to compensate for the lack of recent documentation. Given the vehicle's age and low annual mileage, there is a risk of components seizing or degrading due to infrequent use. Specific attention should be paid to the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as these are common wear points on this model. The absence of recent MOT data means the current state of the chassis, exhaust system, and structural integrity remains unverified. The 2023 failure, despite having no specific defects listed in this summary, necessitates a manual check of all major mechanical systems. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding, and check for any signs of corrosion on the underside. Because the vehicle has not been tested since July 2023, a full mechanical assessment is required to determine if the previous passing condition has been maintained or if long-term standing has introduced new faults. buying_score: 45 risk_level: High.
