2012 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · OV12 EUH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward structural concerns and mechanical neglect. In the most recent test in December 2024 at 113,191 miles, the vehicle passed despite noted corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear inner suspension artwork mounting areas. While this corrosion was not deemed excessive at the time, the presence of rust in these structural areas suggests that the chassis integrity is beginning to degrade and will require close monitoring. At 113,191 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,085 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a luxury Land Rover of this age. There is a notable gap in records between November 2021 and November 2022, during which the vehicle covered roughly 8,000 miles. However, the period around December 2023 shows a cluster of issues, with two tests conducted within 73 days of each other, revealing a coolant leak and multiple critical tyre failures that resulted in an immediate fail. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and lower suspension, specifically targeting the areas noted on the rear suspension mountings. The recurring history of tyre issues—including edge wear and exposed cords noted in 2022 and 2023—suggests potential alignment issues or suspension geometry faults requiring attention. Furthermore, the coolant leak identified in late 2023 must be verified as fully rectified to prevent overheating-related damage, and the corroded rear brake pipes noted in 2022 should be checked for any signs of further thinning to ensure the system remains reliable.
