2011 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · PL 7208

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the car passed the March 2026 test at 64,101 miles, it failed just one day prior due to a deteriorated offside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover and a split nearside front outer drive shaft boot. These failures suggest that while mechanical faults are addressed upon inspection, they are only rectified once they reach a breaking point rather than being replaced during routine servicing. At 64,101 miles, this Range Rover has averaged approximately 4,273 miles per year over its fifteen-year life. This low mileage profile often results in less wear on engine components but frequently leads to degradation of rubber parts and seals. The data shows that between March 2024 and March 2025, the vehicle covered 3,703 miles, yet the 2025 test flagged all four tyres as worn on the inner and outer edges. This specific wear pattern points toward alignment issues or suspension geometry problems remaining unaddressed despite the low annual mileage. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and drivetrain for signs of grease leakage or perished rubber. The recent failure of the CV boot and anti-roll bar cover indicates that multiple rubber components are reaching the end of their life due to age rather than distance. Furthermore, the 2024 report of thin front brake pads and pitted discs suggests the braking system has not been overhauled in long intervals. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion and the air suspension system is essential, as these components often suffer when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods.
