2016 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · OV66 XDS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in August 2025 at 112,371 miles resulted in a failure for an offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover and thin rear brake pads. While the vehicle passed the re-test four miles later, the persistent presence of a front oil leak suggests that mechanical issues are only addressed once they reach a failure threshold rather than being serviced early. At a recorded mileage of 112,375 miles over ten years, the vehicle averages approximately 11,200 miles per annum. This aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent annual testing, with mileage increments of roughly 12,000 to 17,000 miles between tests. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been in regular use, though the recurring issues with tyre wear in 2022 and 2024 indicate that while the car is driven a standard distance of miles, the previous owners may have neglected alignment checks or failed to address basic consumable maintenance. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension components, specifically the ball joints and rubber bushings, as the recent failure highlights vulnerability to wear in this area. The front oil leak noted in the August 2025 record requires a professional assessment to determine if it originates from a minor seal or a more significant engine-related leak that could escalate future costs. Given the history of uneven tyre wear across multiple tests, a professional alignment check is essential to ensure the suspension geometry is not causing premature scrubbing of new tyres.
