2011 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · HY57 CHY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2026-02-10 at 110,243 miles confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded across the past five annual tests. This demonstrates a stable maintenance pattern, though the single failure in January 2023—just two days before passing—was unusual and lacks recorded defects, suggesting either a minor oversight or a non-critical issue resolved swiftly. The absence of advisories or recurring faults implies no systematic neglect, but the 2023 retest’s proximity to the failure date warrants scrutiny of components prone to rapid degradation, such as suspension bushes or brake calipers, which might have been overlooked in the interim. Mileage progression averages approximately 7,350 miles annually, consistent with typical usage for its age. The gap between the 2023 failure and subsequent pass is notable, with only 71 miles accumulated in 19 days, indicating either temporary storage or minimal driving. The subsequent annual mileage increments (around 3,000–4,000 miles per year) align with moderate usage, though the lack of intermediate servicing records raises questions about whether routine maintenance—such as fluid changes or tyre rotations—was conducted between tests. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, for signs of fatigue or corrosion. The brakes, including calipers, discs, and flexible hoses, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the 2023 failure involved braking performance. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, must be examined for corrosion, as aluminium-bodied Land Rovers are susceptible to hidden pitting. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions-related failures are common in older models. The absence of advisories in recent tests does not preclude these areas from requiring attention.
