2013 Land Rover Range Rover 2.2L Diesel · VE62 XKX

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance profile with a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test on 21 June 2025 at 169,690 miles, this followed a significant failure just two days prior. The failure revealed critical safety defects, including missing wheel fixings on all four wheels, a fractured offside front coil spring, and a split CV joint boot. This pattern suggests the owner only addresses the bare minimum required to pass an MOT rather than performing comprehensive mechanical inspections. At 169,690 miles over 13 years, this Range Rover has covered a high average of approximately 13,000 miles per year. The data shows a significant surge in use between June 2023 (157,734 miles) and June 2024, where it covered nearly 8,000 miles in twelve months. This high-intensity usage puts immense strain on the Land Rover's complex drivetrain and suspension systems. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple failures in 2025 indicates a rapid decline in the mechanical state of the vehicle as the mileage climbs. A buyer must scrutinize the suspension and braking systems in person. The record flags recurring corrosion issues on the rear coil springs and a fractured spring on the front, indicating the entire assembly is likely reaching the end of its service life. The repeated mention of thin front brake pads in the 2025 tests confirms that brake maintenance is neglected until failure. Furthermore, the corroded rear fuel shield and the split CV boot suggest that underbody components are exposed to the elements, which could lead to expensive structural damage or drivetrain failure if not addressed immediately.
