2017 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · BO07 MDS

A consistent record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle's recent history, with the most recent test on 16 June 2026 showing no defects. While the majority of the testing period shows no recorded issues, a single advisory for nearside rear brake pads wearing thin was noted during the 09 April 2025 inspection. This indicates a generally stable roadworthiness profile, though the presence of brake wear advisories suggests that consumable components are reaching the end of their service life despite the overall lack of structural or mechanical failures recorded in the DVSA data. The recorded mileage of 47,566 miles against a 2017 registration indicates an average annual usage of approximately 5,285 miles. This represents a low-mileage usage pattern for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, such low annual accumulation can mean less frequent wear on heavy-duty components like the drivetrain and suspension linkages, but it can also result in less frequent use of certain mechanical systems. There is a notable gap in the testing history between October 2020 and April 2022, which may reflect a period where the vehicle was not in regular use or was off the road. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system during a test drive, specifically addressing the advisory regarding the nearside rear brake pads. Listen for any squealing or grinding noises when applying the brakes and feel for any pulsation or judder through the brake pedal, which could indicate uneven disc wear or sticking calipers. Given the low mileage, it is important to verify that the braking components have not suffered from surface corrosion or seizing due to infrequent use, which can sometimes occur when vehicles are driven short distances or sit idle for extended periods. Beyond the brakes, the low-mileage profile warrants a close inspection of all rubber-based components and suspension bushes. While no specific defects were flagged, low-use vehicles can experience perishing or cracking in suspension bushings, engine mounts, or various seals. On a test drive, pay close attention to the steering response and listen for any knocks, clunks, or uneven vibrations when traversing uneven road surfaces or speed bumps, as these are the primary symptoms of worn suspension linkages or deteriorated bushes that may not yet have reached a failure threshold.
