2010 Land Rover Range Rover 3.6L Diesel · WU10 UAX

The current MOT, issued on 25 March 2026 at 60,405 miles, confirms the vehicle is legally roadworthy, having passed its retest on the same day after a minor screenwash wiper defect was rectified. The maintenance trend over the last three years is broadly stable, showing no recurrence of the more significant braking system faults seen in 2025. The most recent advisory, a deteriorated rear registration plate, is a minor cosmetic issue unlikely to cause a future failure. At roughly 3,775 miles per year, the recorded mileage is exceptionally low for a 2010 vehicle. The data shows a clear period of very light use between March 2024 and March 2025, where only 2,294 miles were covered, followed by a jump of 3,363 miles in the subsequent twelve months. This pattern suggests the vehicle may have stood for extended periods, which can lead to deterioration of rubber components and localised corrosion on stationary brake and suspension parts, even without high mileage accumulation. The 2025 failure is the most technically significant event in the record. The tester flagged corroded rear brake pipes and a leaking offside rear brake hose, indicating moisture ingress and possible long-term standing. Although the subsequent 2025 pass confirms these were repaired, a buyer should still inspect the entire rear braking system for any signs of fresh corrosion, weeping fluid, or binding calipers, as a leaking hydraulic component is a serious safety concern. The condition of the rear brake lines and hoses should be checked thoroughly underneath the vehicle. Beyond the brakes, the 2024 advisory regarding a deteriorated offside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover points to perishing rubber suspension components, a common issue on vehicles that spend time stationary. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of all suspension bushes, ball joint gaiters, and coil springs for any signs of cracking or corrosion. Given the low mileage, tyre age and dry rot are also worth verifying, as tread depth may be legal but the rubber compound can degrade significantly on a vehicle covering fewer than 4,000 miles annually.
