2013 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · LM13 XSH

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding suspension components and tyre-related issues. The most recent test in August 2024 at 90,245 miles flagged both nearside and offside front shock absorbers for reduced damping. While the vehicle passed, the presence of failing shock absorbers alongside multiple recurring tyre wear issues suggests a reactive approach to maintenance where components are only addressed when they reach a point of failure or inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between August 2020 at 70,798 miles and August 2024 at 90,245 miles, the car covered roughly 20,000 miles, showing steady but light use. This low-frequency usage often masks the gradual degradation of rubber-based components and fluid systems, which aligns with the corrosion and uneven wear patterns seen across the recorded years. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and wheel geometry. The record shows persistent inner edge wear on tyres from 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023, which typically points to alignment issues or worn control arm bushes. The 2024 failure of the shock absorbers confirms that the front end is nearing the end of its service life and will further accelerate tyre degradation. Additionally, the corroded rear brake pipes noted in 2023 require a physical check to ensure the corrosion has not progressed beyond surface level, as these lines are critical safety components if left untreated.
