2020 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · V8 FWT

The 2020 Range Rover presents a stable mechanical profile, culminating in a clean pass on 20 November 2025 at 21,213 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend remains stable, though a minor braking observation from the previous year warrants attention. The tester flagged rear brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored, yet not seriously weakened, on 20 November 2024 at 18,543 miles. Since the most recent test recorded no new defects, the issue likely resolved through standard component replacement or fell within acceptable tolerances during the latest assessment. Accumulating just 21,213 miles over six years equates to roughly 3,536 miles annually, indicating exceptionally light usage. The vehicle covered 5,530 miles between the October 2023 test at 13,013 miles and the November 2024 test at 18,543 miles, before adding a further 2,670 miles by the November 2025 test. Such low mileage often implies prolonged periods of standing, which can cause sticking brake components, yet the MOT record shows no evidence of these issues materializing. The sparse mileage accumulation suggests minimal wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushes compared to average-mileage equivalents. Inspect the rear braking system closely. The pitting and scoring noted on the rear brake discs in late 2024 can lead to accelerated pad wear or binding calipers if left unaddressed, even though the 2025 test passed without comment. Check the condition of the disc faces and the operation of the rear caliper sliders to ensure the surface rust has not progressed into structural corrosion. Given the low mileage and potential for extended stationary periods, examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking and assess the suspension bushes and coil springs for seizing, as light use often prevents the natural flexing of rubber components. A thorough road test will verify whether the rear brakes pull or pulse under braking, confirming the current integrity of the replaced or inspected components.
