2013 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · JA03 ACE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a slight decline in preventative maintenance. While the car passed with clean sheets between 2022 and 2024, the April 2025 test at 77,398 miles revealed multiple tyre defects and a persistent oil leak. The trend has moved from a perfect record to one requiring immediate attention, suggesting that the owner may be neglecting consumable items until they fail. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Data shows consistent usage with a 4,400-mile gap between March 2023 and May 2024, and a further 4,298 miles between the May 2024 and April 2025 tests. This low mileage often reduces wear on the engine components but can lead to degradation of rubber seals and hoses due to sitting, which aligns with the recurring oil leak entries noted in the history. A buyer must address the recurring oil leak that first appeared in January 2022 and reappeared in 2025. Although the tester noted it was not excessive, the persistence over three years suggests a weeping gasket or seal failure that requires a pressure test to prevent escalation. The 2025 report also flagged three tyres with uneven wear on the inner edges, which typically points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be inspected to avoid premature replacement of new rubber.
