2017 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · S14 DBC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend has shifted from a clean record to one showing emerging mechanical wear. The most recent test on 8 May 2026 at 98,954 miles passed with three advisories. The tester flagged a nearside rear wheel bearing with slight play, light oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber, and a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit on the inside edge. Mileage accumulation has remained consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 11,000 miles per year. The gap between May 2024 at 72,773 miles and June 2025 at 87,441 miles shows a steady increase of 14,668 miles. A more rapid increase occurred between June 2025 and May 2026, where the vehicle covered 11,513 miles in less than a year. This consistent usage suggests the car has avoided the risks associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear suspension and drivetrain. The combination of a misting shock absorber and a worn inside tyre edge often indicates failing suspension bushes or incorrect wheel alignment. These issues can accelerate tyre wear and degrade handling if left unaddressed. The reported play in the nearside rear wheel bearing requires immediate attention to prevent total component failure. The overall history is relatively clean, with only one failure for a split steering column shaft gaiter in June 2022 at 50,848 miles. However, the transition from three consecutive clean passes between 2023 and 2025 to multiple advisories in 2026 suggests the vehicle is entering a phase of expected wear for a high-mileage luxury SUV. Focus should remain on the rear axle components and tyre health.
