2018 Land Rover Range Rover 5.0L Petrol · 97 NJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from previously perfect records. In the December 2025 test conducted at 67,680 miles, the car failed due to an inoperative rear registration plate lamp and a minor exhaust gas leak. While it passed upon retest at 67,716 miles, the appearance of an exhaust leak suggests the beginning of wear or corrosion in the emissions system that was not present during the prior two consecutive clean tests. The mileage pattern remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression of use, from 24,454 miles in January 2023 to 32,838 miles in December of that same year, followed by a larger jump of nearly 20,000 miles by the 2024 test. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not been left stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the seals and mechanical components of the complex air suspension system typically found on this Range Rover model. A buyer should physically inspect the exhaust system to determine if the minor leak identified in late 2025 is a simple gasket failure or deeper structural pipe corrosion that will worsen. Given the previous history of clean records between 2023 and 2024, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained, but the focus should now shift to the undercarriage and rubber suspension components to ensure no hidden age-related degradation is occurring that has not yet been flagged as an MOT advisory.
