2018 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · SO68 ABF

The 2025‑08‑11 MOT at 45,242 miles confirms the Range Rover remains roadworthy, with only an advisory offside rear wheel distortion noted; no failures were recorded, indicating a stable maintenance record that has improved after the tyre defect identified in the 2024‑08‑07 test. Although the vehicle is eight years old, its recorded mileage averages just over 5,600 miles per year, suggesting light usage, yet the jump from 26,674 miles in August 2023 to 35,533 miles in August 2024 represents an increase of nearly 9,000 miles in a single year, a pattern that warrants scrutiny. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear wheel rim for the reported distortion, examine suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for wear, test brake calipers for binding and brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and look for any structural rust around the wheel arches, chassis rails and exhaust system. The recent tyre replacement and the advisory wheel issue imply that previous owners addressed consumable failures promptly, but the elevated mileage period may have accelerated wear on mechanical components, making a thorough in‑person assessment essential before purchase.
