2012 Land Rover Range Rover 2.2L Diesel · HU58 AMY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in reactive repairs. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 83,982 miles, this followed a failure just one mile prior. That failure identified multiple critical mechanical issues including an excessively worn offside front suspension arm, a damaged track rod end dust cover, and corroded coil springs. The persistence of these issues across multiple tests suggests that the owner only addresses faults when forced by a tester rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 63,631 miles and September 2025 at 83,982 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 20,000 miles. This low usage often leads to degradation of rubber-based components, which is evident in the recurring reports of perishing or cracking tyres and de-bonding suspension bushes. The lack of high mileage does not protect against environmental corrosion. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. The rear coil springs have been flagged for corrosion since 2023, indicating a high risk of structural failure if not replaced. The braking system shows a pattern of thin pads and pitted rear discs as of late 2025, suggesting the components are nearing the end of their service life. Furthermore, the corroded fuel tank heatshield noted in 2023 and 2025 should be examined to ensure that rust has not compromised the fuel tank itself or its mounting brackets. Given the history of perished tyres and damage, the current set should be checked for sidewall cracking regardless of tread depth.
