2017 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Petrol · LA17 YVZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in April 2026 at 62,216 miles followed an immediate failure just one mile prior. This failure revealed a critical supplementary restraint system warning lamp, an ineffective nearsside windscreen wiper, and worn bushes on both front lower suspension arms. While the vehicle passed after these repairs were made, the appearance of multiple suspension wear points suggests that components are reaching the end of their service life simultaneously. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in recorded activity between October 2020 and September 2021, where the vehicle covered only 2,835 miles in eleven months. However, the usage has accelerated recently, with over 13,000 miles clocked between April 2024 and April 2026. This increase in use often correlates with the degradation of rubber components and braking systems, which is evidenced by the faults noted in the latest inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry to ensure the recently replaced arm bushes were fitted correctly and that no further play is present. The failure in April 2024 due to brake pads being below 1.5mm indicates that the previous owner neglected basic consumable maintenance until they triggered a test failure. Verify the SRS system status personally to ensure the fault flagged in 2026 was genuinely rectified rather than cleared. Given the age of the Range Rover, checking for signs of corrosion on the chassis and exhaust mounting is also essential, as low mileage can sometimes mask environmental degradation.
