Description:

For sale is a highly usable, low-mileage example of the classic 2000 Range Rover P38 2.5 DSE (BMW turbo-diesel engine).

Having covered just 99,000 miles from new, this 4x4 Range Rover has remarkably low mileage for its age compared to the usual high-mileage examples on the market. It starts on the button, runs beautifully, and drives smoothly.

Owned since 2005 (was my dads then mine) and was garaged between 2005 to 2021 hence bodywork far better than average.

 

Key Features & Specification:

• Mileage: 99,000 miles
• MOT: 8 months remaining (expires June 2027)
• Engine: 2.5-litre BMW turbo-diesel (smooth and reliable)
• Wheels & Tyres: Fitted with genuine Land Rover 20inch alloy wheels wrapped in premium, deep-tread Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tyres—perfect for winter driving, towing, or light off-roading - many years use remaining - worth over 1.5k
• Original wheels with decent tyres included in sale.
• Underseal: Fully undersealed 4 years ago.
• Suspension: Crucially, the troublesome factory air suspension (EAS) has been professionally converted to standard coil springs. This completely eliminates the risk of sudden dashboard errors, collapsed suspension, or expensive compressor failures. It drives comfortably and offers total peace of mind.

 

Known Faults (Priced Accordingly):
To ensure complete transparency and prevent time-wasters, please note the following common P38 faults:

• Headliner: The interior roof headliner is sagging (a very standard issue for Land Rovers of this age).
• Air Conditioning: The AC is currently not blowing cold air.
• Heater Fan Error: There is an intermittent error with the cabin heater fan/blower motor - sometimes blows at full speed.
• Traction Control Failure: The traction control warning light is illuminated sometimes on the dashboard (likely a typical wheel ABS sensor issue).
• Also occasionally SRS light appears ... it comes and goes!.
• Neither impacts the excellent driving. 
• Cosmetic: As is typical with P38s of this era, there is some very minor cosmetic scratches and rust starting to appear.  This is minimal but noted for full disclosure.

 

Aside from these electrical/cosmetic quirks, the mechanical foundations of the truck (engine, gearbox, and coil suspension) are excellent. It makes a fantastic, reliable winter runner, tow vehicle, or weekend truck with plenty of life left in the low-mileage engine.
