2016 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Electric diesel · PK66 WHP

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred consumable repairs in the most recent inspection. The test in February 2023 at 38,165 miles identified several defects regarding the rear braking system, including pitted and scored brake discs along with thin pads reaching the critical limit of 2mm and 3mm. While the vehicle passed, these entries indicate that the previous owner was likely neglecting routine brake maintenance until components reached the MOT failure threshold. The mileage profile is significantly low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between November 2020 and March 2022, where the car covered only 1,974 miles over sixteen months, followed by a more active 7,813 miles leading to the 2023 test. This intermittent usage suggests the car may have sat for extended periods, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and corrosion on brake surfaces despite the low overall mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear braking assembly to ensure the discs and pads flagged in the 2023 test have actually been replaced. Given the low mileage and periods of standing, the inspector should also check for seized calipers or uneven wear which are common when vehicles are not driven regularly. The advisory on the cut nearside rear tyre from 2023 also requires verification to ensure the sidewall has not degraded, as low-mile tyres often suffer from age rot regardless of tread depth.
