2012 Land Rover Range Rover 2.2L Diesel · CV62 HVM

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a maintenance trend that is currently deteriorating. While it passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 174,642 miles, the report revealed significant mechanical issues that suggest reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The tester flagged play in the steering rack inner joints and underbody corrosion, alongside thinning brake pads and stiff wheel rotation. These findings indicate that while the vehicle is currently legal for the road, critical components are reaching the end of their service. The mileage data reveals a massive discrepancy and a period of extreme usage. Between March 2023 at 265,086 miles and March 2024 at 272,965 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 8,000 miles in just one year, a rate that far exceeds the calculated average of 12,474 miles per year. More alarmingly, the mileage of 174,642 miles in August 2025 is significantly lower than the 272,965 miles recorded in March 2024. This inconsistency suggests either clerical errors in the records or odometer tampering, which undermines the reliability of the entire service history. A prospective buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the steering and suspension systems. The February 2024 failure highlighted multiple critical faults including excessive play in the lower ball joint, a missing steering rack gaiter, and broken brake wear indicators. The presence of underbody corrosion noted in the 2025 test requires a close look at the structural integrity of the chassis to ensure rust is not advanced. The buyer should also check for the binding calipers noted in the last test and verify that the steering rack gaiters have been replaced to prevent further dirt ingress into the steering mechanism.
