2011 Land Rover Range Rover 4.4L Diesel · YX61 WBV

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a trend of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While it passed its last recorded test in May 2022 at 104,616 miles, the preceding failure just two days prior reveals a history of neglected safety-critical items. The persistent presence of minor oil leaks and deteriorating suspension components from 2018 through 2022 suggests that mechanical issues are only addressed when they become become strictly necessary to pass an annual inspection. The mileage pattern is relatively consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between February 2021 at 97,940 miles and May 2022 at 104,616 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 7,000 miles in just fourteen months. Given that the last MOT is now over four years old, the current mechanical state of the vehicle is unknown, and the low annual mileage does not offset the fact that the vehicle has reached a significant age bracket where rubber components and fluid seals undergo accelerated degradation. A buyer must conduct a rigorous inspection of the suspension and braking systems due to recurring faults. The record shows persistent misting from shock absorbers and worn sub-frame bushes dating back to 2018, indicating the structural rubber mounts of the Range Rover are likely failing. The corrosion on the offside front brake pipe and the twisted nearside hose identified in 2022 represent high risks for hydraulic failure if not fully replaced. Particular attention should also be paid to the oil leaks, which have appeared in almost every recorded test, as these often mask deeper engine or seal failures that a standard MOT cannot fully quantify.
