2018 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · 4 GSX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership style. While it passed its most recent test on 21 April 2026 at 61,709 miles, it failed just 16 miles prior due to an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light. This failure suggests an electronic fault or sensor issue was addressed immediately before the re-test. Beyond this specific setback, the trend shows a stable focus on consumable items rather than major mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-mileage use, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year over the eight-year period. The recorded 41,549 miles in April 2023 versus 61,709 miles in April 2026 shows a steady progression without unexplained gaps or long periods of inactivity. This low mileage generally places less strain on the drivetrain and complex air suspension suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber seals and fluid components if the vehicle sits for too long between journeys. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition. The April 2025 test at 54,828 miles flagged thin front brake pads on both sides, and the previous 2024 test noted uneven wear on the rear tyres. These entries suggest potential alignment issues or sticking brake calipers that require a physical inspection to prevent premature disc wear. Given the recent failure regarding the engine management system, a diagnostic scan is essential to ensure no lingering fault codes remain that could indicate future performance issues or emissions failures.
