2024 Land Rover Range Rover SE D Mhev Auto 3.0L Diesel · 87 LR

The vehicle's most recent MOT history shows a worsening maintenance trend characterized by a cluster of failures in April 2026. While the vehicle passed its test on 22 April 2026 at 59,502 miles, the tester flagged significant wear on the rear brake discs, noting both nearside and offside discs were pitted or scored. The record also shows the rear brake pads were wearing thin. These issues had caused a failure just one day prior on 21 April 2026, indicating that the braking system required immediate attention to meet minimum standards. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. There is a notable jump of 12,463 miles between the 16 April 2025 test at 46,439 miles and the April 2026 testing period. This suggests the vehicle has been in regular use over the last year. However, the concentration of multiple failures within a single week in April 2026 suggests a period of neglected maintenance or a sudden onset of component degradation. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and the front suspension. The April 2026 failures highlight recurring issues with brake disc surface quality and pad thickness, so checking for any remaining vibration or pulling under braking is essential. The tester also flagged a compromised nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover during the 14 April 2026 failure. This component requires close scrutiny to ensure the joint itself has not been contaminated by dirt or grit, which could lead to premature failure. The absence of the nearside side step, with only mounting brackets remaining, is a documented deficiency from the 14 April 2026 test. Beyond this cosmetic and structural omission, the exhaust emissions failure recorded at 58,893 miles warrants investigation. Although the vehicle passed a subsequent test, high emissions can sometimes signal underlying issues with fuel trim, sensor health, or engine combustion efficiency that may resurface.
