2014 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · B1 KPA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in August 2025 at 95,481 miles. However, the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The car failed its most recent test just eight miles prior due to both rear tyres having exposed cords, a critical safety failure. While the issue was addressed immediately to secure a pass, the history suggests the owner often waits for components to reach the limit of their life or failure point rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 95,481 miles, this twelve-year-old Range Rover has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles covered between annual tests from 2022 through 2025. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which can cause seal degradation, but it also means standard wear and tear on rubber components and hydraulic systems inherent to an aging Land Rover chassis. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The 2022 test identified worn bushes on both front lower suspension arms and thinning pads and discs across all axles, alongside corroded rear brake pipes. Although these were noted years ago, the presence of corrosion on brake lines is a recurring risk on these vehicles that can lead to leaks. The 2024 advisory regarding uneven wear on front tyres also indicates potential alignment issues or worn ball joints that should be verified to ensure the steering geometry is not prematurely exhausting new tyres.
