2012 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · LO07 ATT

The most recent MOT on 23 October 2025 recorded a pass at 97 706 miles, yet the tester flagged a near‑side rear brake pipe corroded with grease or other material (1.1.11 c) and front brake pads wearing thin on both nearside and offside (1.1.13 a ii). The persistence of brake‑pipe corrosion and progressive pad wear since the 2022 failure indicates a deteriorating trend rather than improvement. Earlier entries show intermittent brake‑related advisories, with the 2022 test failing outright on the same rear‑pipe corrosion and pad wear, suggesting the defects have not been fully rectified. Mileage accumulation has been roughly consistent with the vehicle’s age, averaging about 7 000 miles per year over the 14‑year span. The jump from 93 006 miles in October 2024 to 97 706 miles a year later represents a 4 700‑mile increase, slightly above the long‑term average. A notable dip appears after the August 2022 failure: mileage rose only 2 miles between the failed test (86 340 miles) and the subsequent pass (86 342 miles), then increased by 1 813 miles before the next full‑year test. This pattern hints at reduced usage following the failure, possibly due to repair delays or owner caution. A prospective buyer should inspect the brake system closely, checking the rear brake pipe for corrosion or contamination and measuring pad thickness on both axles. The rear tyre condition noted in 2024 warrants a visual tread‑depth check, as edge wear can signal alignment or suspension issues. The windscreen damage logged in 2016 (areas under 10 mm and 40 mm) should be examined for integrity, and the headlamp aim recorded as too high in 2015 should be verified. While no suspension or drivetrain faults appear in the history, the repeated brake‑related problems suggest a need for a thorough brake‑fluid flush, pipe replacement where corroded, and pad replacement before further use.
