2013 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · MB52 BOS

This vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 June 2026 at 116,183 miles. The maintenance trend is generally stable, though the latest test flagged light oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber. This specific suspension issue is a recurring fault, as the tester noted the same condition during the 10 March 2020 test at 82,063 miles. The fact that this advisory has reappeared after six years suggests a long-term degradation of the damper rather than a recent failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 8,937 miles per year. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in usage. Between May 2022 and June 2026, the car covered 19,479 miles with a clean record of passes, indicating a period of steady upkeep. Earlier records show more volatility, particularly between 2019 and 2021, where the vehicle failed multiple tests due to neglected consumables. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension. The 14 May 2021 failure at 89,576 miles revealed corroded brake pipes and severely worn pads, and a 2019 failure also flagged thin rear pads. While these were rectified for the pass, the history of corrosion on the pipes suggests a vulnerability to rust that warrants a close look at the chassis and underbody. The recurring oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber indicates the component is nearing the end of its service life. Given the vehicle's weight and age, the buyer should check for uneven tyre wear or signs of suspension sagging. The 2020 failure for exposed cords and cuts in multiple tyres suggests a previous period of poor tyre maintenance, so current tread depths and sidewall integrity should be verified.
