2017 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · FG17 LLN

The current roadworthiness status of this 2017 Land Rover Range Rover is documented by a pass on 2026-05-18 at 121,799 miles, though this followed an initial failure on the same day for a dangerous nearside rear brake pad measuring less than 1.5 millimetres thick. This pattern of failing an MOT on critical consumable items immediately before securing a pass recurs across the timeline, specifically mirroring a dangerous failure for identical nearside rear brake pad degradation and a tyre ply defect on 2024-05-20. The maintenance trend reflects persistent neglect of routine consumable replacement until statutory intervention occurs, demonstrated by rear brake pads flagged as wearing thin in May 2022 and May 2025 before deteriorating to a dangerous state during the subsequent annual tests. High mileage accumulation defines the structural and mechanical life of this vehicle, which has averaged roughly 13,533 miles annually across its nine years on the road. The odometer progressed from early testing intervals to the current reading of 121,799 miles without extended periods of standing, ensuring continuous wear on the heavy drivetrain, suspension architecture, and braking components associated with this platform. Testing frequency remained consistent year on year without missed appointments, providing an unbroken sequence of data points that highlights heavy operational use. Prospective buyers must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, paying particular attention to the rear brake discs, calipers, and pads given the repeated dangerous failures involving the nearside rear assembly. The 22-inch tyre fitment requires close scrutiny for structural damage, cuts, or uneven wear patterns across all corners, building on the previous major failure involving exposed cords. Suspension components, air springs, and subframe mountings also demand careful evaluation on a ramp to account for the cumulative strain imposed by high-mileage operation on UK road surfaces.
