2019 Land Rover Range Rover 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · YR19 DAU

High annual mileage and a recent advisory regarding suspension wear define the mechanical profile of this vehicle, which passed its latest MOT on 21 May 2026. While the record shows a period of four consecutive years without recorded defects between 2022 and 2025, the emergence of a worn nearside rear lower shock absorber bush indicates that wear-and-tear components are beginning to reach the end of their service life. This transition from a clean record to an advisory suggests a shift in the vehicle's maintenance requirements as it moves into a higher mileage bracket. The recorded mileage of 107,657 miles for a seven-year-old vehicle represents a high usage pattern, averaging approximately 15,380 miles per year. This level of consistent, heavy usage typically results in more accelerated wear on consumable items such as brake discs, pads, and various suspension linkages compared to lower-mileage examples. Mechanically, this sustained distance suggests that drivetrain components and chassis-mounted rubber elements have been subjected to significant operational stress, making the recent advisory regarding the shock absorber bush a relevant indicator of the current state of the suspension system. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the suspension during a test drive to assess the impact of the nearside rear lower shock absorber bush wear. Listen for any rhythmic knocking, clunking, or dull thudding sounds when driving over uneven road surfaces or speed bumps, particularly when the vehicle is loaded. Any lateral instability or a feeling of the rear end swaying or feeling unsettled during cornering could also indicate that the bush has degraded beyond a minor advisory level. Given the high mileage accumulation, the inspection should extend beyond the flagged advisory to include a thorough check of all other suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers. It is also prudent to monitor the vehicle for any signs of fluid leaks from the shock absorbers themselves or any excessive vibration through the steering wheel and chassis, which can occur when high-mileage components begin to fail. Ensuring the suspension geometry remains within specification will be critical to preventing premature tyre wear and maintaining the vehicle's handling characteristics.
