2013 Land Rover Range Rover 2.2L Diesel · CL02 FAZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards accelerating mechanical wear and deferred attention. The most recent test in June 2026 at 114,641 miles flagged multiple advisories related to braking components, suspension hardware, and tyre condition. While the vehicle passed, the increasing volume of defects over the last three years suggests a reactive maintenance approach where parts are only addressed as they approach failure limits rather than replaced through a proactive service schedule. At 114,641 miles over 13 years, this Range Rover has covered a consistent average of approximately 8,800 miles per year, which is aligned with typical usage for its age. The history shows a period of relative cleanliness between 2019 and 2023 where no defects were recorded. However, since the mileage crossed the 100,000-mile mark in 2024, the frequency of failures has increased. The vehicle has covered roughly 14,000 miles in the last two years alone, placing significant stress on the aging suspension and braking systems. A buyer must scrutinize the suspension system, as the tester identified recurring corrosion on three coil springs and persistent play in the nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage dating back to 2018. These issues indicate that the rubber bushings and metal components in the subframes are likely nearing the end of their functional life. The braking system also shows a pattern of pitted discs and thin pads appearing across multiple tests, specifically 2020, 2025, and 2026. This suggests the front brake assembly is due for a complete overhaul. Physical inspection should also focus on the tyres, as the latest report noted uneven wear on both front tyres, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn dampers. The presence of a taped fog light lens for three consecutive years further reinforces a lack of attention to minor peripheral defects. Given the history of corrosion on the coil springs, a thorough check of the structural integrity and mounting points is essential to ensure that the rust has not progressed beyond surface-level oxidation.
