2017 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · B1 EEK

A six‑year streak of clean MOT passes, most recently on 7 July 2026, shows that no roadworthiness defects have been recorded for this 2017 Range Rover, suggesting the vehicle has met the statutory safety and emissions criteria throughout its recent life. There are no advisories or failures noted in any of the seven tests, indicating a stable compliance record rather than a pattern of emerging faults. At 81,675 miles the odometer reads an average of roughly 9,000 miles per annum, which sits comfortably within the typical usage envelope for a nine‑year‑old premium SUV. The annual testing cadence is regular, with no extended gaps that might conceal unrecorded deterioration, so the mileage figure can be taken as a reliable indicator of cumulative wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and suspension components. When inspecting the vehicle, give particular attention to the front and rear suspension assemblies: check for any play in the control arms, worn bushings or cracked coil springs, and listen for clunks when the car is driven over speed bumps. Examine the brake system for uneven pad wear, disc scoring or any signs of fluid leakage around the calipers and master cylinder, and test the pedal for a firm, consistent feel without sponginess. Verify that the tyre tread depth is even across all four wheels and that sidewalls show no bulges or cracking, as uneven wear can hint at alignment or suspension issues. During a short test drive, feel for any steering pull to one side, especially at higher speeds, and note any vibration through the steering wheel that could betray worn tie‑rod ends or wheel bearing play. Pay attention to any rattles or squeaks from the rear axle and differential, and listen for abnormal exhaust notes that might indicate a leak or failing muffler. Confirm that the vehicle accelerates smoothly without hesitation, and that the gearbox shifts cleanly, as these behaviours can reveal hidden wear in the drivetrain that would not appear on an MOT inspection.
