2012 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · ROD 1

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on the most recent MOT test conducted on 2026-03-05, despite the previous failure on the same date. The maintenance history shows a clear trend of recurring mechanical and structural concerns, specifically relating to corrosion and suspension components. The failure on 2025-02-24 highlighted multiple issues, including excessive corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear brake pipes, alongside worn upper suspension arm pins and bushes on the near side, and a significant reduction in front brake pad thickness. This indicates an ongoing need for attention to structural integrity and critical braking systems. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, with recorded miles rising from 70,815 in February 2024 to 84,946 in March 2026. This steady progression suggests a predictable wear pattern rather than sudden, catastrophic mechanical failure. The history shows that tyre degradation was a persistent issue, with the offside rear tyre being flagged as worn close to the legal limit and starting to perish in February 2025, a concern that reappeared in the March 2026 test. The consistent presence of these specific advisories points toward a vehicle that requires proactive attention to consumable wear and component longevity. A buyer should inspect the suspension components thoroughly, focusing on the near side upper arm pin and bush for signs of excessive wear or movement, as this was flagged in 2025. The brake system requires careful checking for any remaining corrosion on the brake pipes, particularly the rear ones, which failed multiple times in the 2025 testing period. Furthermore, the front brake pads must be checked for thickness, as they were recorded as being less than 1.5 mm thick during the 2025 failure. Finally, the offside rear tyre condition should be assessed immediately to determine if replacement is necessary to prevent further degradation.
