2016 Land Rover Range Rover 5.0L Petrol · LH16 DTO

The roadworthiness status of this 2016 Land Rover Range Rover is currently sound, supported by a pass certificate issued on 18 March 2026 at 137,082 miles with zero defects recorded. This clean outcome follows a similarly fault-free test on 10 February 2025, indicating that the maintenance trend has stabilized recently after a period of accumulated advisory notices. Earlier examinations reveal a pattern of recurring mechanical wear that demands careful contextual analysis before purchase. The vehicle has accumulated 137,082 miles over its roughly ten-year lifespan, averaging approximately 13,708 miles annually, which sits well above the typical national average for passenger vehicles. This high-mileage regime accelerates thermal and mechanical fatigue on heavy drivetrain components, air suspension systems, and braking hardware. Annual testing intervals have been strictly observed every February or March from February 2022 through March 2026, confirming consistent administrative compliance and regular use without extended periods of standing off the road. Prospective buyers must inspect the front suspension closely during a physical viewing, specifically targeting the lower arm inner bushes. These components appeared as recurring advisories in both the 25 February 2022 test and the 23 February 2024 test, indicating that replacement will likely be necessary soon if these parts were not recently renewed. The 2024 test also noted thinning front brake pads, worn brake discs, and edge wear on the nearside front tyre, meaning the braking system and consumable rubber require thorough verification on a lift to establish remaining service life.
