Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but consider this a
Given the high mileage of 162,227 miles, your primary focus should be on the mechanical integrity of the 2.9L diesel engine and the complex air suspension system common to this era. Always request a detailed service history to see if major components like the turbocharger or fuel injectors have been addressed.
When viewing the vehicle, check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay and inspect the chassis for corrosion. Because the 2025 MOT showed a failure followed by a pass on the same day, ensure you ask the seller exactly what the defect was and if a receipt for the repair is available.
Running this 2926cc diesel Range Rover will be expensive. Expect higher-than-average fuel consumption due to the vehicle's weight and engine size. Tax and insurance groups for a 2004 luxury SUV are typically high, reflecting both the engine capacity and the vehicle's performance profile.
Maintenance costs are likely to be significant. With mileage exceeding 160,000, components such as suspension arms, tyres, and braking systems will require regular attention. The estimated annual running cost for a vehicle of this age and specification is substantial.
Pay close attention to the suspension; while this specific vehicle's MOT history does not list suspension arm failures, it is a top failure reason for this model across the aggregate data. Check for any uneven tyre wear or unusual noises when driving over bumps.
Inspect the lighting system, as headlamp failures are a frequent issue for this model. Additionally, given the high mileage, check the condition of all rubber hoses and belts, and look for any signs of heavy wear in the interior, which often accompanies high-mileage luxury vehicles.
This 2004 Land Rover Range Rover, finished in black, has covered 162,227 miles as of its last MOT in April 2025. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,902 miles per year, indicating heavy usage. However, the MOT history shows a series of passes since 2022, with only one recorded failure in April 2025 that was rectified immediately.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 83.9% MOT pass rate, with common failures related to headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms.
