2013 Land Rover Range Rover 2.2L Diesel · PA02 AAA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but exhibits a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While the car passed its most recent test on January 2026 at 123,010 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior. The recurring nature of consumable failures, specifically regarding brakes and tyres, suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when prompted by an MOT tester rather than performing scheduled interval servicing. At 123,010 miles over 13 years, the Range Rover has averaged approximately 9,460 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a luxury SUV of this age. The mileage progression shows consistent activity, with roughly 12,700 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 7,800 miles between early 2025 and early 2026. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which can often degrade seals and bushings, but it also places consistent load on the air suspension and braking components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the record shows thin front pads and critically low offside rear pads in the January 2026 failure. The presence of uneven wear on the nearside rear tyre indicates a potential alignment issue or a worn suspension component that remains unaddressed. Furthermore, the 2025 failure due to exposed ply and cords on the offside front tyre highlights a history of neglecting safety-critical rubber components. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, an inspection of the air suspension bellows for leaks and the structural integrity for hidden corrosion is essential, as these are common failure points for this model that are not yet captured in the MOT advisories.
