2010 Land Rover Range Rover 2.9L Diesel · DW59 JUN

The 2025‑04‑19 MOT at 101,577 miles confirms that the 2010 Land Rover Range Rover is presently roadworthy, with the tester passing the vehicle despite a front oil leak that was judged not excessive and surface corrosion on suspension components recorded as age‑related. The recent pass follows a series of successful tests since 2022, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a marked deterioration. Mileage has increased from 60,717 miles in early 2016 to 101,577 miles in April 2025, averaging about 6,350 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage for a 16‑year‑old vehicle and shows no abnormal jumps; the only notable irregularity is the duplicate 2016‑01‑28 entries, which reflect separate test attempts on the same day. Recurring issues such as the persistent front oil leak, repeated wear of brake discs and pads, and intermittent failures of the off‑side headlamp and track‑rod end ball joints point to chronic wear in the suspension, steering and braking systems, and the presence of surface rust on structural components that should be scrutinised for play, binding calipers and corroded pipes. A buyer should therefore prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension bushes and coil springs, verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, check for excessive play in the track‑rod ends and ball joints, locate the source and severity of the oil leak, and examine the chassis for any structural rust or damage beyond the documented age‑related corrosion.
