2018 Land Rover Range Rover 3.0L Diesel · YY67 WYD

The most recent MOT test conducted on 17 January 2024 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking at the historical data, the maintenance trend appears stable. While the January 2023 test highlighted wear on the front brake discs and inner pads alongside a puncture in the nearside front tyre, the subsequent clean pass suggests these items were likely rectified. The vehicle has generally maintained a high standard of roadworthiness over the last four recorded tests. The recorded mileage of 55,616 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,952 miles per year. This usage profile is typical for a luxury vehicle of this class and suggests a balanced duty cycle that avoids the risks associated with extreme high-mileage wear or the degradation caused by prolonged periods of standing. Mechanically, this mileage indicates that while major components should still have significant life remaining, the vehicle is entering a phase where routine wear and tear items will require closer monitoring. Given the previous advisories regarding the front braking system, it is essential to verify through service records that the brake discs and pads were replaced rather than simply monitored. During a test drive, the buyer should be alert for any brake shudder or pulsing through the pedal, which would indicate warped discs, or high-pitched squealing suggesting thin pads. Additionally, a thorough inspection of the current tyre tread depths and sidewall condition is recommended to ensure the previously noted nail damage was professionally repaired and that no uneven wear patterns exist, which could point to suspension or alignment issues. Beyond the MOT history, the buyer should perform a comprehensive check of the vehicle's age-related consumables. This includes inspecting the 12V battery health and checking for any signs of fluid degradation or leaks around the engine bay. Particular attention should be paid to the air suspension system; listen for an overactive compressor and ensure the vehicle maintains a level ride height without sagging after being parked. Finally, verify that the service book contains stamps for calendar-based intervals, as oil and filter changes are critical for the longevity of the drivetrain regardless of the moderate annual mileage.
