2016 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · MM16 SXC

The vehicle holds a current pass certificate from the November 2025 MOT at 90,011 miles, confirming it meets the minimum legal standards for road use today. The maintenance trajectory appears stable with no immediate failures, though the most recent test flagged rear brake pads wearing thin. This follows a clean bill of health in November 2024, suggesting the previous owner addressed major defects promptly before they escalated into refusals. The pattern indicates routine servicing rather than neglect, as the car has not accumulated any dangerous defects or structural failures over the last five years of testing. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 9,000 miles per year, which aligns perfectly with the vehicle's 2016 manufacture date and current odometer reading. The records show consistent annual testing between early November of each year from 2021 through 2025, demonstrating regular usage without long periods of inactivity that often accelerate corrosion in Land Rovers. The jump from 83,794 miles in late 2024 to 90,011 miles in late 2025 represents a typical annual distance, reinforcing that the drivetrain has seen steady operation rather than harsh stop-start city driving or excessive motorway strain. Buyers should prioritise an inspection of the braking system given the recurring attention required on this component. The tester noted a disconnected brake pad warning wire in November 2023 and thin pads again in November 2025, implying either delayed replacement intervals or a persistent electrical fault within the sensor circuit that needs rectification beyond simple pad changes. While the 2022 test recorded multiple tyre cuts and a distorted front wheel, the absence of similar tyre advisories in subsequent years suggests those specific items were replaced, yet the history of wheel distortion warrants a close check for alignment issues or suspension damage that could cause uneven wear. Structural integrity requires careful scrutiny due to the advisory regarding rusty rear anti-roll bar pipes logged in November 2021. Although no further corrosion mentions appeared in later tests, moisture can remain trapped behind under trays fitted to the vehicle, potentially allowing rust to progress unseen beneath the chassis protection. A thorough examination of the underbody, specifically around the suspension mounting points and exhaust route, is essential to ensure the earlier surface rust has not developed into structural weakness affecting the vehicle's longevity.
