2016 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · J77 SAK

A recurring pattern of brake system wear defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, characterized by a cycle of thinning pads and worn discs. This trend culminated in a dangerous failure in June 2022 due to severely worn front pads and discs, and it persists into the most recent pass on 13 May 2026, which again flagged both front brake pads as wearing thin. The overall record indicates a consistent requirement for brake maintenance to maintain roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 103,337 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,334 miles per year. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, meaning that wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and engine consumables is likely aligned with typical expectations for a vehicle of this weight and vintage. Particular attention must be paid to the braking system during a test drive; listen for any grinding noises and feel for pedal judder or a soft response, which would indicate the current thin pads or potential disc warping. The history of inner tyre wear on the nearside front and rear in 2024, combined with a damaged front tyre in 2025, suggests a need to inspect the current tread depth and check for uneven wear patterns that could point to alignment issues or worn suspension components. The 2023 record noted a severely deteriorated constant velocity boot on the nearside rear drive shaft. A prospective buyer should listen for clicking or knocking sounds during low-speed tight turns and inspect the boot for fresh grease leakage, as a failed boot allows contaminants to enter the joint, which can lead to premature failure of the drive shaft.
