2012 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · K31 NAH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a concerning shift towards structural and mechanical degradation. While the car maintained clean passes between 2022 and 2024, the most recent test on 24 October 2025 at 74,563 miles revealed significant issues. The tester flagged underbody and chassis corrosion alongside corroded steering and suspension components and a front oil leak. This indicates that the vehicle is moving from a period of stability into one of active environmental decay. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. There is a visible gap in the records between September 2021 at 44,702 miles and November 2022 at 59,060 miles, where the vehicle covered over 14,000 miles in fourteen months. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the infrequent use often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals, which aligns with the perishing tyres noted in the earlier records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody to determine the extent of the corrosion reported in 2025. The reported corrosion on steering and suspension components suggests a high risk of future mechanical failure if not treated with treatment. The front oil leak identified in the latest test requires investigation to confirm if it is a minor seal or a more costly gasket failure. Given the history of worn suspension arm bushes and leaking shock absorbers from 2021, the entire suspension assembly should be checked for excessive play or further structural fatigue.
