2012 Land Rover Range Rover 2.2L Diesel · CE62 MYZ

A pattern of intermittent lighting and tyre-related failures characterizes the recorded MOT history for this Land Rover Range Rover, though the most recent test on 04 April 2022 showed no defects. The vehicle experienced a significant failure in November 2020, which included multiple major defects regarding both dipped and main beam headlamp functionality alongside a dangerous defect for nearside rear inner tyre tread depth being below the legal limit. While the record shows a period of instability between 2019 and 2020 involving windscreen washer failures and tyre advisories, the subsequent passing of the 2022 test suggests a period of compliance following those specific issues. The vehicle has covered 75,764 miles over its 14-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 5,412 miles. This is a relatively low mileage profile for a vehicle of this age and type. While lower mileage can imply less wear on heavy-duty components such as the drivetrain and suspension, it can also indicate periods of extended stationary use. For a large SUV, this usage pattern necessitates a close inspection of rubber components and seals that may have aged or perished due to lack of movement rather than mechanical wear. Prospective buyers should pay particular attention to the lighting systems and tyre wear patterns noted in the previous failures. Given the 2020 failure regarding headlamp beams, it is essential to verify that all lighting modules, bulbs, and electrical connections are functioning correctly without flickering or intermittent failure. During a test drive, ensure that the headlight beam pattern is consistent and that there are no signs of moisture ingress within the light units. The previous advisories regarding tyre wear on the edges and nails in the tyres suggest that alignment or tyre management should be checked; look for any uneven tread wear on the inner or outer edges of the tyres during a physical inspection. The 2019 failure regarding the windscreen washer system indicates a need to verify the integrity of the washer pump, nozzles, and associated plumbing. Ensure the fluid sprays with sufficient pressure and that there are no leaks under the bonnet when the system is activated. Additionally, since the vehicle has been driven at low annual mileages, check for any signs of fluid weeping from various seals or gaskets, as low-use vehicles can sometimes develop leaks from seals that have not been regularly lubricated by circulating oil or fluids.
