2018 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · LU68 CCA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test in September 2025 at 64,023 miles identified new issues including a nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint with slight play and a pitted offside rear brake disc. While the vehicle passed this inspection, the recurring nature of suspension and brake defects across multiple years suggests a trend where components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure or legal threshold. At approximately 64,000 miles over eight years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a luxury SUV. The data shows a significant spike in activity between September 2023 and September 2024, where the vehicle covered nearly 10,000 miles in a single year. This period of use coincided with a major failure at 40,135 miles, where brake pads, discs, and tyres all required immediate replacement, indicating that the mileage accelerated the wear on consumables that were previously neglected between test intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows repeated failures of the lower suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar ball joints. The 2024 failure and 2025 advisory indicate that the front end components are under significant stress and may require further attention soon. Furthermore, the minor oil leak noted at 30,039 miles needs to be verified to ensure it has not developed into a more significant leak that could affect the engine or drivetrain components. Given the history of pitted discs and worn pads, the entire braking system should be checked for uneven wear or seized calipers to ensure consistent performance.
