2010 Land Rover Range Rover 3.6L Diesel · G26 NTB

A pattern of long-term roadworthiness is evident in this vehicle, with the most recent MOT passed on 2026-07-20 showing no recorded defects. While the history includes a period of advisories regarding suspension component wear in late 2022, the subsequent three testing cycles in 2023, 2024, and 2025 have all resulted in clean passes without further advisories or failures. This suggests that the previous issues with the front suspension bushings were either addressed or have not progressed to a level requiring formal intervention during recent inspections. The vehicle has covered 116,800 miles over its sixteen-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,300 miles. This usage profile is consistent with typical long-distance or mixed-use patterns for a vehicle of this age and does not indicate periods of excessive stationary time or unusually heavy commercial application. Mechanically, this level of mileage means that while major drivetrain components may not have reached extreme lifespans, consumables such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and various rubber seals should be closely monitored for age-related degradation. Prospective buyers should pay particular attention to the front suspension geometry, specifically focusing on the area highlighted by the 2022 advisories concerning the nearside and offside front inner suspension arm pins and bushes. Although these were not flagged in the most recent tests, the history indicates these components have been subject to wear. During a test drive, listen for any dull knocking or clunking sounds when navigating uneven road surfaces or speed bumps, and feel for any wandering or imprecise steering response that could indicate the bushings have deteriorated further. Beyond the suspension, the absence of recorded oil misting or exhaust emission failures is a relevant factor for a vehicle of this age and mileage. However, given the previous advisory on suspension arm pins, it is advisable to inspect the condition of the front wishbones and mounting points for any signs of play or excessive movement. Any noticeable vibration through the steering wheel or a pulling sensation to one side during braking or straight-line driving should be investigated, as these symptoms often correlate with the type of suspension wear recorded in the vehicle's history.
