2011 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · VR10 CTR

A single advisory for thin front brake pads on the latest MOT, combined with an isolated CV‑boot deterioration two years earlier, paints a picture of an otherwise clean road‑worthiness record for this 2011 Range Rover. All eight recorded tests have resulted in passes, with no outright failures, indicating that the vehicle has consistently met the statutory safety standards, and the only recurring concern is the gradual wear of the front braking material. At 100,393 mi the average annual mileage works out to roughly 6,700 mi, which sits comfortably within the normal range for a fifteen‑year‑old SUV. The MOT schedule shows roughly annual testing, with a slightly longer interval between the November 2020 and January 2022 examinations, but no evidence of prolonged inactivity. This moderate usage suggests that consumable wear items such as tyres, suspension bushes and drivetrain components will have been exercised at a typical rate, without the accelerated degradation seen on high‑kilometre units. The front brake pad advisory signals that the pads are approaching the minimum thickness required for safe operation; a buyer should feel for reduced pedal travel, any squealing or grinding on deceleration, and verify that the pads are replaced before they reach the wear limit. The 2024 CV‑boot warnings on both the nearside and offside drive‑shaft joints merit a visual inspection for cracked or split boots and any grease leakage; during a test drive the driver should listen for a whirring or clicking noise when turning, and feel for vibration that could indicate impending CV‑joint failure. Given the vehicle’s age, a thorough check of the suspension components—particularly the bushings, coil springs and any anti‑roll bar links—is advisable, looking for looseness, creaking or uneven tyre wear that would hint at wear beyond normal limits. While no MOT failures have been recorded, the combination of moderate mileage, a single brake‑pad advisory and the earlier CV‑boot condition means that a prospective buyer should budget for brake pad replacement and a possible CV‑boot repair to maintain the vehicle’s compliance and reliability.
