2019 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · MOL 31

The 2019 Range Rover passed its most recent MOT on 10 February 2026 at 78,183 miles, but the maintenance trend is beginning to show wear-related deterioration rather than the clean record seen in earlier years. The tester flagged both front brake pads as wearing thin and noted that both front brake discs are worn, pitted or scored. These are not serious structural failures, yet they signal that the front braking system has entered a phase of accelerated wear that demands attention. The vehicle remains roadworthy today, but a buyer should treat the front brake condition as an immediate service item rather than a deferred one. Mileage progression is consistent with typical use for a seven-year-old luxury SUV. The car covered roughly 12,480 miles between January 2022 and January 2023, then slowed to about 12,480 miles per year through early 2025, before adding a further 8,802 miles in the thirteen months leading to the February 2026 test. There are no alarming gaps or sudden drops in recorded mileage that would suggest long periods of disuse or odometer irregularities. The annual distance is broadly in line with the UK average for a vehicle of this type, meaning wear on consumables and mechanical components falls within expected parameters. The 2024 test at 56,088 miles recorded a nearside rear outer CV boot severely deteriorated, a defect that typically results from age, heat cycling, or contamination rather than mileage alone. That advisory has not reappeared in subsequent tests, which could indicate the joint was replaced or the boot was renewed. A buyer should still inspect the rear CV joints and boots in person, checking for clicking under load and grease contamination around the inner wheel arch. The undertrays noted as fitted during the 2025 test suggest some underbody protection was in place, yet the front brake condition in 2026 implies routine inspection of friction components may have lapsed. A physical inspection should focus on the front axle. Remove the front wheels and measure pad thickness and disc run-out against Land Rover tolerances, paying particular attention to lipping on the disc edges and any heat discolouration that might indicate binding calipers. Check the rear suspension bushes and drop links for play, as air suspension components on Range Rovers of this generation commonly deteriorate between 60,000 and 80,000 miles. Examine the subframes and inner wing arches for corrosion, particularly around the front suspension towers where moisture collects behind protective covers. The CV joint history also warrants a brief road test to confirm smooth power delivery through the rear axle under light and hard acceleration.
