2014 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · BO53 RJT

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, having passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 107,732 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend following a period of significant mechanical neglect in late 2024. While the latest result is clean, the history indicates a vehicle that has required reactive repairs to address accumulated wear once it reached inspection thresholds, rather than following a proactive preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There was a notable surge of over 13,000 miles covered between November 2023 and December 2024, followed by another 11,000 miles leading up to the 2024 and 2025 tests. This suggests high-intensity use in recent years, which explains the accelerated wear seen on rubber components and braking hardware typical of the heavy-weight Range Rover chassis. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The December 2024 test flagged a worn nearside front suspension arm bush, and while this did not cause a failure, such components often degrade in pairs on these vehicles. Furthermore, the braking system shows a recurring history of pitted and scored discs, along with thin pads and worn drums noted back in 2023. You should verify the current thickness of the rotors and check for any binding calipers or vibration that might indicate underlying mechanical issues. The failure in December 2024 due to multiple tyre cuts and low tread depth indicates that the previous owner ignored basic safety consumables until the test. While these issues appear resolved based on the 2025 pass, the history suggests the vehicle is prone to deferred maintenance de-related faults. Given the age and mileage, prioritize the structural integrity of the air suspension components and the condition of the control arm bushings before finalizing a purchase.
