2018 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · 5200 PO

A pattern of minimal mechanical intervention and infrequent advisory notes defines the roadworthiness profile of this vehicle, culminating in a clean pass on 24 June 2026. The MOT history shows a relatively stable trend, with the only recorded issues being minor tyre-related advisories in 2023 and 2025. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the intermittent appearance of tyre perishing and damage suggests that the vehicle's mechanical history is primarily influenced by its specific usage rather than systemic component failure or structural degradation. The recorded mileage of 23,180 miles against an eight-year age profile indicates an unusually low annual accumulation of approximately 2,898 miles. This level of usage is significantly below the UK average and suggests the vehicle has spent considerable periods stationary or has been used strictly for short-distance transit. Mechanically, such low mileage means that primary drivetrain and engine components may have lower wear than typical for a 2018 model, but it also increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber components and seals that occurs regardless of distance travelled. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyre history, specifically the advisory for nearside front outer tyre cracking and perishing noted in August 2025. Because the vehicle is driven infrequently, rubber compounds can harden and lose elasticity over time, leading to sidewall cracking. During a test drive, you should inspect the sidewalls of all tyres for any signs of fine surface cracking or bulging. Additionally, ensure that the tyres do not exhibit uneven wear patterns, which could indicate alignment issues resulting from long periods of inactivity or low-speed driving. Beyond the tyres, the low mileage profile warrants a physical inspection of all perishable items that are subject to environmental ageing rather than just mechanical wear. Check for any signs of fluid weeping from engine seals or suspension bushings, as these can often dry out or perish when a vehicle is not driven regularly. On the road, listen for any irregular knocks or creaks from the suspension system when navigating uneven surfaces, and monitor the brake pedal feel to ensure there is no sponginess or hesitation, which can occur if the braking system has been subject to moisture ingress during periods of standing.
