2017 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · B8 VAE

The vehicle currently holds a good roadworthiness status, following a clean pass on March 26, 2026, at 48,777 miles. The trend appears stable, as the vehicle successfully rectified the only recorded mechanical failure from the year prior. The absence of defects in the two most recent tests indicates that previously identified issues were addressed and the vehicle is currently meeting all minimum safety standards. The mileage profile reflects low usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 5,420 miles per year. Between April 2023 and April 2024, the car covered 5,924 miles, while it saw a drop of 2,430 miles between April 2024 and April 2025. This consistency suggests light annual use, which typically reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, though low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from rubber-based components like bushings drying out or becoming brittle over time regardless of distance. The failure on April 16, 2025, at 45,288 miles highlighted a specific point of concern regarding an excessively worn nearside front lower suspension arm pin or bush. While the subsequent pass in 2026 confirms this was repaired, a buyer should still inspect the front suspension geometry for any signs of tearing rubber or uneven wear. Given the Range Rover's design, a physical check of the air suspension system for leaks or sagging height is also advisable, as these components do not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach a state of total collapse.
