2012 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · NG62 XVP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in suspension wear and underbody corrosion. The most recent test in June 2026 at 107,379 miles identified several new defects including a defective central exhaust mounting and worn suspension arm bushes across the rear axle. While the vehicle passed with a clean sheet in July 2025, the immediate return of multiple suspension-related advisories and failures suggests that the rubber components are reaching the end of their functional life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between October 2022 at 86,698 miles and July 2024 at 94,047 miles, followed by more consistent annual testing. The accumulation of over 20,000 miles in the last two years indicates regular use, though the low-average nature of the vehicle often accelerates the degradation of perished bushings and metal brake lines more than high mileage alone. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the rear sub-frame and all suspension arms. The 2023 record flagged extensive corrosion across the sub-frame, brake pipes, and arms, which is a recurring theme that threatens structural integrity if left un. The persistent mention of worn bushes across multiple years indicates that the suspension geometry may be shifting out of alignment. Furthermore, the inner-edge wear on the nearside rear tyre noted in 2026 suggests an alignment issue or worn control components that require immediate attention to prevent further tyre damage.
