2010 Land Rover Range Rover 3.6L Diesel · AD55 SET

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, showing a pattern of passing tests with minimal intervention over its history. The most recent inspection on 12 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, which follows a period in late 2024 where a minor issue with an insecure offside rear reflector and an advisory for thinning offside rear brake pads were noted. Aside from these isolated observations, the vehicle has maintained a relatively stable testing profile since its initial records began in 2014, with no major structural or mechanical failures documented. The recorded mileage of 110,758 miles against a 2010 registration indicates an average annual usage of approximately 6,922 miles. This level of accumulation is consistent with typical long-distance or mixed-use patterns for a vehicle of this age rather than high-intensity commercial use or excessive periods of stationary storage. Mechanically, this moderate mileage suggests that while consumable components like tyres and brake pads will require periodic replacement, the vehicle has not been subjected to the accelerated wear typically seen in high-mileage heavy-duty utility vehicles. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the braking system, given the advisory regarding thinning offside rear brake pads recorded in December 2024. During a test drive, it is essential to monitor for any uneven braking performance, pedal pulsation, or audible squealing when applying the brakes, which could indicate uneven pad wear or binding calipers. Additionally, because the 2025 test showed no defects, the previous brake pad advisory should be verified as having been addressed through replacement to ensure the current thickness is within safe operating limits. While the MOT history does not show recurring issues with suspension or steering, the moderate mileage and age of a Land Rover of this era warrant a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension linkages. Although no corrosion was flagged in the recent records, any signs of weeping from dampers or knocks and rattles when traversing uneven surfaces should be investigated, as these can indicate wear in the bushes or coil springs. The absence of recent advisories for tyres or emissions suggests the vehicle has met basic regulatory standards, but the mechanical integrity of the drivetrain and suspension should be felt through the steering feel and overall vehicle stability during operation.
