2014 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · 56 DT

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate until April 2027, confirming it currently meets minimum roadworthiness standards. However, the maintenance trend indicates a worsening condition regarding the braking system. While the car passed the April 2026 inspection at 49,302 miles, the tester highlighted recurring issues with the rear brake discs and identified new, significant corrosion on both rear brake pipes. The presence of grease or other material on these pipes is a concerning observation, as it often masks the true extent of structural degradation and complicates a visual assessment of the metal integrity. The recorded mileage of 49,302 miles over a twelve-year lifespan averages approximately 4,100 miles annually, which is notably low for a Range Rover. The history shows a consistent, light usage pattern with no significant gaps in testing, suggesting the vehicle has not been left stationary for extended periods. The jump from 29,578 miles in November 2022 to 37,402 miles by May 2024 reflects a slight increase in annual usage, yet the overall low mileage indicates the mechanical components have not been subjected to heavy long-distance wear. A prospective buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the rear brake lines, as the corrosion noted in the most recent test requires immediate professional scrutiny to ensure the lines are not compromised. You should also verify the condition of the rear brake discs, which have been flagged as pitted and worn for two consecutive years. The recurring tyre advisories between 2024 and 2025 suggest that previous maintenance may have been reactive rather than proactive, so check the current tyre tread depths and sidewall integrity across all four corners. Given the age and the specific model, ensure the air suspension system operates through its full range of height settings without delay, as low-mileage examples can suffer from perished rubber seals and compressor fatigue.
