2016 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · CH13 MAB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive repairs. While the car maintained clean records between 2023 and 2025, the most recent February 2026 test at 88,079 miles revealed multiple defects that required immediate attention. The presence of severely deteriorated ball joint dust covers on both front sides and a tyre worn to the legal limit indicates that preventative maintenance has been neglected in the most recent service interval. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 11,202 miles covered between February 2025 and February 2026, which represents a higher rate of usage compared to previous years. This increased mileage likely correlates with the accelerated wear observed on the suspension components and tyres during the latest inspection. The brief failure in February 2024 due to ineffective windscreen wipers suggests a minor oversight in basic upkeep, which was addressed promptly before the subsequent pass. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the previous failure of the ball joint dust covers often precedes total mechanical failure of the joints themselves. The tester also flagged a chip in the front windscreen in 2026, which should be monitored for spreading cracks due to structural stress. Given the reported wear pattern on the offside front tyre, a professional alignment check is necessary to ensure that uneven geometry settings are not causing premature degradation of new rubber.
