2018 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · 70 PBC

A 2018 Range Rover with a 4.3 L diesel typically achieves about 30 mpg, meaning fuel costs at current UK diesel prices (~£1.60 per litre) will run around £1,200‑£1,400 annually for the recorded mileage. Road tax for a diesel of this size is usually in the higher band, roughly £570 per year, due to CO₂ emissions. Insurance groups for this model sit in the mid‑high range (approximately 50‑55), leading to annual premiums of £800‑£1,200 depending on driver profile.

Maintenance on a luxury SUV can be higher than average; routine servicing, tyre replacement, and occasional suspension work often total £600‑£800 per year. Adding fuel, tax and insurance, the estimated annual running cost falls in the £3,200‑£3,970 bracket.

Inspect the tyre‑pressure monitoring system thoroughly; verify that the sensor units are operational and that the dashboard warning lamp is extinguished. A malfunction here can mask tyre wear issues and may lead to further MOT failures.

Examine the headlamps and suspension arms closely. The model’s aggregate data highlights headlamp and suspension arm failures as common MOT problems, so check for cracked lenses, dimming bulbs, and any play or noise in the front and rear suspension components. Pay particular attention to bushings and ball joints for wear.

Conduct a general visual inspection of the under‑body for signs of oil leaks, especially around the diesel engine and turbocharger, and assess the condition of the brake discs and pads. While the MOT records show no recent brake failures, brakes are a wear item that can affect safety and future MOT outcomes.
