2010 Land Rover Range Rover 3.6L Diesel · H8 PSK

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding deferred repairs on significant wear items. The most recent test in December 2025 at 181,205 miles flagged multiple advisories that had persisted from the previous 2024 inspection. While the car continues to pass, the accumulation of deteriorated ball joint dust covers and worn sub-frame components suggests that the owner is only addressing the bare minimum required to maintain an MOT certificate rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 181,205 miles over 16 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 11,325 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a heavy luxury Range Rover. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 11,000 miles covered between the December 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 13,700 miles in the year preceding that. This steady mileage accumulation places high cumulative stress on the drivetrain and suspension assembly, explaining the recurring mechanical issues noted in the inspection history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and rear sub-frame. The repeated reports of deteriorated lower suspension arm ball joint dust covers and worn sub-frame pins indicate a risk of component failure if the rubber seals have allowed grease ingress. The braking system also requires immediate attention; the 2025 test noted thin rear pads alongside pitted and scored discs, which were already present as advisories in 2024. Furthermore, the persistent non-excessive oil leak noted since 2021 should be monitored to ensure it remains a minor weeping rather than an escalating pressure loss.
