2017 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · 60 JC

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a transition toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in December 2025 at 69,552 miles resulted in a pass but noted an advisory for thin rear brake pads. This follows a pattern of escalating mechanical faults appearing in recent years, suggesting that while the vehicle remains legal to road, components are only being addressed as they approach failure limits. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year over its nine-year life. Between December 2021 at 39,022 miles and December 2025 at 69,552 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 7,600 miles annually. This low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but long periods of standing can sometimes contribute to the degradation of rubber components and the corrosion of brake lines as seen in the history. A buyer must pay close attention to the rear suspension and braking system. The December 2024 test at 61,355 miles flagged the offside rear shock absorber for reduced damping, and previous records identified corroded brake pipes on both rear sides in late 2022. The physical inspection should verify if the shock absorbers were replaced and if the corrosion on the brake lines has progressed into structural thinning. Given the advisory for thin pads in the latest report, a full measurement of the rear braking assembly is necessary to ensure no immediate expenditure is required.
