2012 Land Rover Range Rover 2.2L Diesel · BJ62 GGA

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in February 2025 at 152,476 miles saw the vehicle fail due to a serious fluid leak on the nearside rear shock absorber and a deficient offside front tyre. While it passed immediately after these repairs, the recurring nature of tyre failures suggests components are only addressed once they reach a failure threshold rather than during scheduled preventative maintenance. At 152,476 miles over 14 years, the Range Rover has averaged approximately 10,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a luxury SUV. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with a roughly 11,000 miles recorded between February 2023 and February 2024, and another 11,400 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which places consistent stress on the aging drivetrain and air suspension components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the entire suspension system, as the shock absorber failure in 2025 may be the beginning of a wider trend of perished bushings or leaking dampers. The history of uneven tyre wear across multiple axles in 2023 and 2025 points toward potential alignment issues or worn suspension geometry that require professional investigation. Given the high mileage and the age, specific attention should be paid to structural corrosion on the chassis and the integrity of the air suspension system, as these areas are not fully captured by the MOT record but are common failure points for this model.
