2010 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · DU60 CLZ

Corrosion of the integral body structure and recurring suspension and braking component wear define the mechanical profile of this vehicle, which most recently passed its MOT on 24 June 2025. The inspection history shows a trend of increasing advisories regarding structural integrity, specifically involving the sills and inner integral body structure, alongside persistent issues with suspension bushings and brake pipe degradation. While the vehicle has maintained a passing status since 2018, the nature of the recorded defects suggests a progression of wear in the chassis and steering components that requires close attention. The recorded mileage of 252,231 miles against a 2010 registration indicates a high-use profile, averaging approximately 15,764 miles per year over its sixteen-year lifespan. This level of accumulation suggests significant mechanical stress on heavy-duty components, including the drivetrain, suspension linkages, and braking systems. Such high mileage typically correlates with the accelerated wear of rubber bushings and the gradual degradation of hydraulic components, which is reflected in the frequent advisories for worn suspension arms and seepage from the power steering ram. Prospective buyers should focus heavily on the documented corrosion within the sills and inner integral body structure. During a test drive, it is essential to inspect the underside for any signs of advancing structural decay that could compromise the vehicle's rigidity. The presence of corroded brake pipes, which were noted as being covered in grease or other material in the 2025 test, necessitates a careful visual inspection to ensure the metal is not significantly thinned. Any evidence of fluid weeping around the brake lines or the power steering ram should be treated as a priority for investigation. Suspension and steering health should be assessed by listening for knocks or clunks when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which may indicate play in the track rod end ball joints or worn suspension arm bushes previously flagged in the records. The history of oil leaks, specifically around the sump bell housing, means the underside should be checked for active dripping or heavy oil misting. Additionally, given the advisories regarding worn tyres and thin brake pads, the current state of all consumables should be verified to determine the immediate interval for replacement.
