2011 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · B13 BAH

Recurring advisories regarding suspension component wear and brake pipe corrosion define the mechanical profile of this Land Rover Range Rover. While the vehicle passed its most recent test on 19 June 2026, the record shows a persistent pattern of deterioration in the suspension system, specifically involving arm pins and bushes on both the front and rear axles. This trend of suspension wear, alongside a multi-year advisory for an oil leak that has appeared in consecutive tests since 2022, suggests a vehicle with ongoing component degradation rather than a singular point of failure. The recorded mileage of 110,761 miles over approximately 15 years indicates a usage pattern of roughly 7,384 miles per year, which is consistent with typical annual accumulation for a vehicle of this age. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting stationary for extended periods, which can often lead to different types of seal degradation. However, the consistent presence of advisories for worn bushes and corroded brake pipes indicates that the mechanical components are being subjected to standard wear and environmental exposure commensurate with this level of usage. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection and test drive. The repeated advisories for worn suspension arm pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside fronts, as well as the rear, warrant a close examination of the vehicle's handling. On the road, listen for knocking or clunking sounds when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, and check for any wandering or instability in the steering. The deterioration of the anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover noted in the 2026 test further confirms that the rubber components in the steering and suspension linkages are reaching the end of their service life. The history of corroded brake pipes on both the nearside and offside rear, first noted in 2023 and continuing through 2025, is a significant area for inspection. While the vehicle passed the 2026 test, the long-term presence of corrosion in the brake lines requires verification of the current state of the metalwork to ensure structural integrity. Additionally, the persistent advisory for an oil leak since 2022 should be investigated by looking for fresh weeping around the engine or under trays. During a test drive, check for any changes in pedal feel or pressure, and observe the ground beneath the vehicle after it has been idling to gauge the severity of the leak.
