Important to check the service history - there is a major major service at about 100 000 miles which includes cam belt change and other stuff. If that's been done properly I can't see a problem, given the age of the car. |

If it's not been done, insist on it a) because you don't want your cam belt to go and b) because it's expensive! |

Apart from that, obviously check the operation of anything and everything electrical. If Terrain Response is fitted twiddle the dial and check that the right indications come up on the screen (if you don't know what I mean, read the relevant bit of the Handbook, which is on this site somewhere). At that mileage, it probably hasn't had time to go off road, but it's worth checking for underbody damage if you can. You don't say if it's manual or auto - if it's manual check for clutch slip at speed in 5th/6th gear if you can. Plus all the obvious things you look for on a used car. There shouldn't be any rust, apart from the wheel arch trim, which does distort but is easy to replace. If it has a spare wheel, check it's legal. It doesn't have to be the same size, so long as it's a Land Rover FR2 wheel of some sort. |

With that level of mileage I would walk away - the potential for some very expensive repairs would be too high for me. As ever in life, something else will crop up and you could be left kicking yourself. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

Hi, If you do consider this vehicle I strongly recommend you get the cam belt changed.
