2007 Land Rover Range Rover 3.6L Diesel · GN57 XCD

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate issued on 10 July 2024 at 134,610 miles, which expires on 9 July 2025, meaning the next test is now overdue as of today's date of 18 June 2026. The maintenance trend over the past four years is broadly stable, with no sudden escalation in serious defects, though the record reveals a pattern of recurring minor wear items rather than a single major failure. The most recent pass was preceded by a failure the previous day for seatbelt buckle faults and a deteriorated nearside front CV boot, both of which were rectified before the retest. Suspension arm bushes have appeared as advisories in consecutive years, indicating gradual wear that has not yet reached a critical threshold. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable for a 2007 vehicle. Between the July 2022 pass at 129,460 miles and the July 2023 pass at 133,269 miles, the vehicle covered 3,809 miles in twelve months. The 2024 tests both recorded 134,610 miles, suggesting the vehicle may have seen very little use in the twelve months prior to that test, or the mileage was not updated between the failure and retest. Overall, the annual average of roughly 7,000 miles is typical for this age and class of vehicle, and there are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension and drivetrain during any in-person inspection. The repeated advisories for worn inner suspension arm bushes on both sides, first flagged in 2022 and again in 2023, suggest these components are approaching the end of their service life and may need replacement soon. The nearside front CV boot was noted as severely deteriorated in 2024, and while it was presumably repaired to pass the retest, the joint itself should be checked for play or clicking under load. The 2022 failure also highlighted rear brake wear, with a disc described as seriously weakened, so the condition of the rear braking system warrants a thorough check. Finally, the corroded fuel tank cover flagged in 2024 is a minor item but worth inspecting for any signs of deeper corrosion affecting the tank or its mounting points.
