2016 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · DA16 WNZ

The 2016 Range Rover presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 13 February 2026 at 73,449 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, though the history reveals a repeated administrative pattern rather than mechanical decline. On 11 February 2026 the car failed at 73,447 miles with no defects listed, mirroring an identical failure on 11 February 2025 at 70,306 miles before a pass the next day. These are not mechanical rejects; they suggest documentation or presentation issues at the test centre rather than worsening condition. Recorded mileage shows light use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 65,262 miles in February 2024, rose to 70,306 by February 2025, and reached 73,449 by February 2026. That equates to roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles annually, well below the 7,345 average implied by the age. Low accumulation reduces strain on suspension bushes, drivetrain joints, and brake discs, but extended standing can permit corrosion and perished seals. The clean advisory columns across all three years indicate no flagged wear on tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the absent advisories. The twin failure-then-pass sequences on consecutive days in both 2025 and 2026 warrant confirmation that no latent fault was quietly rectified between tests. Examine underbody for structural rust and check suspension arms for degraded bushes given the vehicle's low but ageing profile. Verify brake calipers are free and coils show no fracture. The record implies conscientious test compliance, yet offers no evidence of proactive intermediate servicing.
