2013 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · K6 VTN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift from reactive repairs to structural and mechanical degradation. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 104,473 miles passed, it revealed a severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft CV boot and a corroded fuel tank support. This represents a progression from the 2025 advisory where only corrosion was noted at 100,095 miles, suggesting that surface rust is now beginning to require more urgent attention. At 104,473 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per year over its thirteen-year life, which is consistent with typical UK usage patterns. The mileage accumulation is remarkably steady, with roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles recorded between each annual inspection from 2022 to 2026. This consistency suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which can often lead to internal failure of rubber components and fluid breakdown, despite the age of the chassis. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the fuel tank cradle and mounting points to determine the extent of the corrosion flagged in the last two tests. The structural integrity of the fuel system supports is critical, as persistent rust in this area can lead to catastrophic failure if not treated or replaced early. Furthermore, the 2022 report of a coolant leak and thin brake pads indicates that the cooling system and braking hardware require a close-up check to ensure previous issues were properly rectified rather than merely masked.
